Hey, Im installing this HDD into m friends Dell PC. Its a WD 160 gigger. Anyways, both HDD's are installed, but only his old 20 gig can be seen in the "My Computer" window. However, when I look into Device Manager, it says it is installed and working properly.

Anyone understand this? I left the new HDD on cable select if this makes sense.

Look in Disk Management.

In XP,2000 or 2003, right-click on My Computer and select Manage. Find disk management. It may be that there's no partition or that it's not a recognized partition or there's no drive letter assigned.
