Did you enable drive in BIOS?

Here's some ideas to try..

If it is showing up in the bios...
You need to partition and format all new hard drives. Go to the start menu, Right click My Computer->Manager->Disk Management You may need to assign it a drive letter!!

OR
open Device Manager you will see a big yellow ? under Other.
Click on it
click on reinstall driver. you will need the driver from your Motherboard's cd/floppy for the SCSI/RAID controller
don't let windows search for the driver, direct it to your cd/floppy

Well my hard disk is getting detected in other systems but not mine.. so i dont guess that using a partion manager would be able to help me out. Ne wz thnks for the advice ..
