Hi I am a bit new to installing hard drives and I need some help. I have installed an old hard drive as primary slave but it doesn't appear on the computer. I checked the "Disk Management" utility in Windows XP but I don't see my second hard drive. There is also no icon for it in My Computer.
Is there something I have to do first to make my computer see the drive? Is the drive dead? I took the drive out of a computer which did need work, when it was plugged in sparks flew everywhere but I don't think it harmed the HDD.
