On Windows XP
Goto Start > Control Panel > Administrative tools > Computer Management > Storage > Disk Management
Check and make sure the new drive is Online.
If not, then you need to format the drive.
Its very easy to do so.

Looks like windows sees your new SATA drive as L the CD rom drive
or its moved your CD drive to L...look carefully put a cd in drive and see what shows up
C=ATA
D=ATA
E =??
F= ??
etc.
L=CD rom drive

Is It DELL computer..
If thats the case..You have to Clear NVRAM...
Inorder to clear NVRAM...
Restart the computer..Moment u see the DELL logo start tapping the F2 key.
U will see the BIOS screen..
Now keep holding the ALT key strike E, F and Finally B..But don't release ALT key until u strike the key B..Finally ur computer will restart..Now u can see the drives in MY COMPUTER
