Hi, I put an internal drive in my computer and I can't seem to get it to be recognized in my computer. How do I get it to be noticed.

Hello Boomer, and welcome to Vista Forums.
Could you post a screenshot of your Disk Management (diskmgmt.msc) window showing the layout of all HDDs? This will better help us in determining what may be wrong.

Is it SATA or IDE? If IDE did you configure the jump settings correctly? Did you connect both power and data? Go into the BIOS menu and see if it is there.

Along with the above, boot to the bios, and see if it shows there.
OEM/Bare drives Are not formated, so you will need to do that after activating it in disk management.

Try disconnecting the primary drive and booting with only the new drive. It won't boot but the BIOS should recognize it. Then, shut down and reconnect your primary drive and reboot. Both drives should be available.
