Go to contol panel->administrative tools->computer management-> in the left-most pane, click on "disk management"
See if your drive shows up here. Also, here you can see if it is partitioned/formatted correctly, "mounted", or has a drive letter assigned to it. If any of these are not so, (i.e. not partitioned/formatted, not mounted, or has no drive letter, the drive will be "seen" by the dos portion of the boot process (the bios will see it) but windows itself will not list it in "my computer"
By right clicking on the drive in the computer management console, you should be able to do any of these tasks.
Good luck

Can you find it in device manager too?
If so and you are running Windows XP it is probly larger than 127 gig. (smaller for older Windows, but the fix is the same) and you will need a disk overlay from the manufacturer.
Installing the overlay will wipe out all the information on the disk

You might not have it enabled in the bios.

It is either partitioned wrong or formatted wrong... x
