    Problem with installing Hard Drive

    Hi, i haven't posted here in a while as everythings been good.

    So i recently bought a new Seagate Barracuda SATA 320GB Hard Drive so i can use it instead of my old Primary 250GB IDE Hard Drive.

    When i plugged it in and went to the bios, i could clearly see the newly installed Hard drive in the list of connected hardware in (SATA), I bought this drive so i could use HD Clone to copy data from my old drive to this one. So i logged into Windows (Ultimate 64x) and checked it in My Computer but it isn't there? i don't see it but if i look inside my Driver Manager i see it in the list.

    So i open up the HD Clone to see if it can see it, it does! so i select which drive is the source (IDE) and the target (new HDD) but it says error, cannot copy to SCSI Drive. so i try see if i can copy to an another SATA HDD in my computer which My Computer recognizes already but again it says cannot copy to SCSI drive.

    Am i doing something wrong or is there a fix?

    Did some google'ing and found my problem! need to format via the Disk management
