    Exclamation Help: Slave drive not found.

    I'm currently using a 90gb Corsair Force SSD and a Western Digital Caviar Green 500gb. I just put in the WD to replace an older drive.
    I thought I'd hooked it up wrong but it shows up in the BIOS as being there. The issue is when the system boots and I look in "Computer" it doesn't appear. Do you guys have any tips?

    In case its relevant I'm running an ASRock Extreme3 990FX mobo.

    You have to create a partition and format it. Right click on Computer and select manage. Select disk management. The drive should show there and it might prompt you to initialize it. If it does, go ahead and initialize the drive. Then right click it and select new simple volume. Follow the prompts. Quick format the drive as NTFS.

    You probably just need to initialize the drive in Disk Manager.
