New Hard Drive in Win 7

If you connect a new hard drive to your computer it will not show up. You have to go to Disk Management in order to Format and if required partition the drive You can set Windows Explorer so that they can be seen as ordinary drives

Here is how :-

Now similar to me you will be wondering why Microsoft did this?
 * 1) In windows Explorer click Organize > Folder and Search Options
 * 2) Click on the View tab
 * 3) Un-tick the option “Hide empty drives in the computer folder”
 * 4) OK
