HD not detected by windows, but is by bios/device manager?

[steeb0z]

Ok, fixed my old problem. The PSU side of the pci cable was knocked out. :|. Anyway, my new hd is detected in both the bios and my device manager, but I can't see it in my computer. Also, when I boot after it shows what drives/cpu/ram I have, my SATA controller says "no drives found", it never did this before. Everything else works as before

i had a similiar situation happen. you have to go into drive manager or somethign like that and initialize it then it will be recognized

What OS? Tried resetting BIOS?

If Device Manager sees it, you just need to Initialize it. From the Manage screen, below Device Mgr, there's Disk Management. Click that. You should get a popup wizard asking you to initialize your new disk.
