Check for any drive letter conflicts. That would cause your drive to not appear.

Under Disk Management, you can change the drive letter and path. Maybe you can fix it there. (My Computer->Manage->Storage->Disk Management).

I'll save that tip for some other time.
Meanwhile before u replied I simply hooked the hardrive to a different sata slot on my mobo and it worked fine.
Thanks anyways though.
