    What does this mean? Did you install the SATA/RAID drivers?

    P.S. This should be in Storage & Networking, I think.

    Right click on "my computer" then "manage" then "disk management" or something like that (my windows is not the English version, but it will say something similar).

    Is your new Sata disk showing up in there? Is it formatted? If not, format it first. Then assign it a drive letter and you should be good to go.

    Sorry for any confusion. By "Storage & Networking" I was referring to the name of the correct forum you asked about.

    Do you mean it was showing up and was already formatted, or that you just formatted it now? Are you able to assign it a drive letter?
