    New HDD not recognised in Windows

    Just installed windows to my new SSD and my old 200GB maxtor drive is recognised and accessible but my new 500GB f3 is not. It is recognised in Bios however. Any ideas?

    Maybe it is not formatted? go into disk management and have a look, You can format and allocate it a drive letter there too.
