Does your new drive have a letter assigned to it?
Device manager can create a new simple volume that formats it for you.

Just in case you are not familiar with it please follow:
Right click computer and select manage, select disk management
your new disk should show up if you go to full screen.
Then right click your new drive and select New Simple Volume.

I recently bought an extra internal hard drive for my computer -
which
runs windows vista. I installed it and put the power cable and SATA
cable in and it shows up in Device Manager. But it doesn't show up
in
my computer as an additional hard drive. I believe I have to format
it
or something. How do I do that?


Thanks for the response! I did that and it says that the drive is not
initialized. It gives me 2 options, MBR or GPT. Which should I choose?
