Additional HD

[ecw]

I have a Compaq Presario Desktop 6330US with a 2.0 ghz proc. &
60 GB HD. I just got a 80 GB internal IDE HD. I installed it an
booted into the BIOS. It was there. I set it to "AUTO" an
rebooted into Windows. When I go to my computer, it is not there
When I go to Add New Hardware, it is in the list of things to choose
It says it is working properly too. Will my model PC not support
80GB HD? What do I have to do? TI

You need to partition and format the drive, before you can really see it.
Go to control panel>admin tools>computer management>disk management.
That's where you can accomplish the partitioning and formatting.

Computer it will be recognized in disk management? Sorry for being
newbie. TI

Yes, it should be there if it was seen by the BIOS.
