undefinedLaptop HP Pavilion N3402 With XP / Hard drive Fujitsu model MHR2030AT 30G, DOES NOT RECOGNIZE NEW HARD DRIVE
 
Have you formatted the drive? It will not show up in Windows unless it is formatted as fat32 or ntfs. And if it is brand new it isn't formatted as anything, so you will need to do that. Right click on My computer and choose Manage. Then browse to Disk Management, find the drive and right click on it and choose format.
