I installed a Western Digital hard drive onto my system. The system recognizes that the drive is connected because it is displayed under the hardware tab of the properties of the other hard drive. My problem is that the drive is not appearing in the My Computer window and I can't put any files on the hard drive.
 
Hi MJG4E,

You'll have to partition the drive in order for the drive to appear in My
Computer window, and format the partition(s) in order to store data to them.
