744115 2009-02-02 03:46:00 I have installed a new hard drive (250Gb Seagate) into my PC, replacing a secondary drive (40Gb Western Digital) . Now I can see my primary drive and XP is booting off this, but I can't see the drive I have just installed .

A balloon tip came up after I had installed it saying 'new hardware detected' and it was installed . I can see the drive in device manager, just not in 'my computer' . The old drive letter was F: if that helps .

I also have a CD-RW drive and a DVD-RW drive .

Then it'll appear in my computer

You have to format it before you can use it
