Bought a second SATA drive for extra storage today. The second drive shows up in BIOS and under the device manager. However, not under explorer nor "my computer". Is there something that I need to do to get the computer to recognize this new drive? I am confused as I have never run in to this type of problem with two hard drives before.

Use disk management to partition & format the drive.
