| 846514 | 2010-01-07 04:31:00 | Hey all, So I connected my new HDD in. Started PC up, and it popped up in the little bubble in the right hand corner, as well as device manager says both my HDD's are there and both are working, but I can't actually access this new HDD. Is there something I'm meant to do? Thanks in advance. |

I forgot to mention, this is a new HDD that isn't replacing my old one. The old one has an OS on it. Or do I need to put an OS on both? |
