I just installed a SATA hard drive. It is working properly. Why can't I access it?

Factual Questions

I just installed a SATA hard drive in my computer. The new drive is listed on the startup screen with my other SATA drive and I ran ‘Add Hardware’ from the control panel and it told me the device was working properly. When I open My Computer I can’t find it. Any suggestions?

I suspect it will need partitioning and formatting.

Just make sure you apply the method to the right drive (i.e. not your existing one, on which your OS is installed)
