I have just recently purchased a Segate barracuda 2 TB HDD and upon installation after booting up with it installed noticed that it wasn't showing up anywhere even though windows had a little popup that said it "saw new hardware, installing drivers" but disappeared never to be seen again, please help I cant find the drive anywhere in the OS. I am an advanced computer user I know my way through windows 7 well, and am baffled.

If you are using a know good power connector, SATA cable, and SATA port, it seems to be a drive issue.

Do you have another system to test it in?
