I have attached another stata hard drive to my pc on connection number 1 (c drive is connected to connector 0 on motherboard) and the os does not recognise the drive.

Do I need to do anything else other connect the sata cable and power cable?

Please help!

Thank You

1. Does the computer's BIOS recognize the drive? Go into your BIOS setup and take a look.

2. If the BIOS sees the drive but Windows does not, it may just be that the drive is not formatted yet. In the Computer Management utility in your Administrative Tools folder, go to Storage and click on Disk Management. Is the drive listed in one of the right-hand panes of the disk management window? If so, what information for the disk do you see listed there (please be specific)?
