Umm, is it showing up as functional totally? Is it connected through the IDE bus? If its connected through S-ATA or ATA, do you have ATA enabled in your BIOS?

Both of my HDDs are on the same controler...the 80GB on master and my new one on slave...in device manager it says its working properly and speedfan detects it and everything...I dont know why My Computer doesnt show it..

Dawg, you might want to try the Nokia Monitor Test.
Don't worry, the program is in English even though the DL site isn't.

Does the drive have any partitions defined?

[bigdawgfoxx]

My original 80GB Master HDD has a C: and a D: drive...2 partitions..

To set up the drive goto:

Start>Control Panel>Switch to Classic View>Administrative Tools>Computer Management>Disk Management.

Ok...It set it up but it says 149GB of unallocated space on the computer managment thing...its still not showing up in my computer tho..

Do I need to creat new partition on it? Like an E: partition?...

my final plan...well the only reason im installing this one is to take the data off of my 80GB HDD and put it on the new one...then reformatt the 160 partition where I dont have my data and stuff...so will I need to creat the drive as F: or what?

[Virtualbody1234]

Run the partitioning wizard from in disk management and then the drive will appear in 'My Computer'

[bigdawgfoxx]

Should I format it or not when it ask? or just creat the new partition?

I'm formating it..
