Did you go to computer management -> disk manager and initialize the new drive?

Oh... That did it. Thanks alot.

1. Go to Windows Disk Management... STart Button > Computer right click > select Manage > Disk Management

On the Disk Drives graphic view > is the HDD there with unallocated disk space area? > Right click on the disk header where it says Disk 1 and size, and select Initiate. Follow the wizard's options.

2. If the HDD doesn't show in Disk Management, check the power and data connections to HDD, switch to another SATA port, restart the computer and see if the BIOS detects it.



EDIT: Well, to late but details might help someone else.
