Hello. I just recieved my new Velociraptor 150gb hard drive in the mail today, and I plugged it in and it is not working. I believe it is because it is unformatted, but i am not sure.

-The drive does not show up in "My Computer"
-The drive DOES show up in "Device Manager"
-The drive does not show up in "Computer Management"/"Disk Management".

As far as I've been told, to format a new drive you have to go to Disk Management, but my Velociraptor is not showing up there. What could be the problem?

[strike]Thanks for the reply. How do I check if it shows up in the bios? (as in where do i navigate to to check?)[/strike]

Figured that out. The drive is indeed visible in the Bios. What gives?
