I have a 1tb wd blue drive as my main drive, i took an old seagate 320 gb 7200 barracuda dive out of my old computer, wanted to use it as a back up or possible install linux on it to play around with. The drive had windows on it and some stuff i didn't need anymore so i boot and nuked the drive and wiped it completely, but now windows is seeing the drive as a cd-rom drive and wont let me configure it, how do i just set it up as a back up, ill us virtual box to mess around with linux???

i downloading something like that from the sea gate and it wouldn't work it kept telling me to attach a seagate drive. and i pretty sure it connected correct sata cable straight to the mother board and power, even when i go to my computer and hit properties it doesnt know how large the hard drive is or anything should i try finding drivers for it?
