In BIOS, i see that its detected in my motherboard. i have 40gig seagate which is my primary and the maxtor as slave.
WHen i opened windows, a found new hardware pops out and i saw that it was succesfully installed.
when i open my my computer, i saw only 2 drives- my C: and the D: having the D: as the partition of my 40Gig seagate. i saw nothing else.
i went to the device manager/disk drives and i saw 2 drives, the seagate and the maxtor and in the maxtor properties, i saw that its running properly and yet, i cant find it in the my computer.
what to do?

It’s a simple solution. The Operating system has detected the hard disk, but by default your hard disk comes without any partitions. All you have to do is to go to disk management. Right click on your new hard disk and ask to create new partition. If you need more help on this, feel free to ask.

You need to activate your hard drive in windows. In disk Management. Go to windows.com and look up how to install a disk drive.

it sounds like the disk hasn't been formatted yet. i would give that a try first. i have seen systems that have trouble identifying a slave drive with the jumpers set to cable-select for all drives, you may want to have a look there too.
