Default HD not showing up???

I installed a secondary 80gig Western Digital HD into my brother's Compaq computer yesterday (running xp)...but when i go to My Computer, it doesn't show the drive...if i go to device manager then to disk drives it shows the main C drive and then shows the 80gig i installed so i know the computer sees it, when i click on it and go to properties, under status it shows Not Initialized...can't figure out how to get it to recognize and list the drive under my computer.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled it, changed out the cable on it and everything but still can't figure it out. I went to the System Bios but on the Compaq it is set up different, doesn't show anything like an Auto-Detect for the drives or anything, just boot sequence and stuff...any ideas on what i need to do?
