Hi,I have built a new computer and I am trying to install windows 7 to a 2tb hard drive. But It doesn't appear when I install it.

Can anyone help?

Unplugg all other hdd's and/or ssd's. Install the drive you want to boot from into the first sata port. Usually sata0. After install, load all newest versions of board drivers from the manufacturer web site. After you get the comp set up and running OK, install any other drives and you should have access to them too.

At the beginning of windows install, there are drive options and you should delete all partitions. Then create a new partition. This is all done in windows install. Finish the install in the newly created partition.
