I already posted about not getting my HDD ot be recognized. Its a WD2000 SATA 200GB drive. I'm not getting an error message at start-up anymore, it says it recognizes a SATA378 186GB HDD, and in the BIOS I can see it in the list of HDDs for BOOT order, but nowhere else. The main page just has IDE-master as my other HDD, and IDE-slave as not detected. It seems to kinda be recognizing the SATA HDD, but how do I get it to show up?

Thanks!
 
Are you trying to install windows on it or add it as a storage drive? If you are trying to install windows then Trizoy is right, you probably need SATA drivers to add at the start of the install process.
If it's just a storage drive, right click on my computer and pick manage. From there expand the Storage Tree and click on disk management. You should see the drive at the bottom. Right click it to initialize/format/partition as necessary.
