WD Caviar Black HDD Not Showing in Windows 7

[irock2drums]

Hi, I just purchased this HDD: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136792
For some reason, the HDD is showing up in the BIOS but not in Windows 7. I have looked at Disk Management but it still doesn't show up. Any reason why? I have switched out the power cable also but still nothing.

Thanks,

When you turn on the PC do you hear the drive turning on? Check your SATA cables.

You need to format and partition drive before you can use it too in disk management.

Go to device manager and see if it shows up there too.
