| | Re: Installed new hard drive not found in vista New hard drives typically have zeros in every byte of every sector and is not recognized by the operating system. Go into disk management and check its status. You typically have to format it and maybe initialize it and maybe make it active. Just formatting may initialize and make it active - I haven't tried it on Vista yet. -Paul Randall "Amy" <Amy@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:FF380893-77C6-415D-A945-B8AD88FB6F17@microsoft.com... >I installed a new hard drive D in my laptop, the drive is found in device > manger but not anywhere else, in vista.
