New Harddrive Not Appearing in "My Computer"

Hey all,

I just installed a second SATA interal harddrive. Its a 250GB 7200rpm Seagate. When I started the machine up for the first time after installing it, the icon and balloon for new hardware found appeared down in the system tray. The device manager shows both of the drives and says both are working properly. BUT... it doesnt show up in My Computer, so I cant access it.
Any ideas?

Thanks...
 
I should also mention that when I installed it, I just plugged the SATA cable in to the drive and the mobo. I didnt see any jumpers that needed to be changed or anything... Also, I just picked an open SATA port on the mobo.
 
Some motherboards required some kind of disk to install an SATA Drive.

Also on some motherboards it can make a different what port you plug into. Sometimes there are 2 interfaces for SATA and one is plug and play and the other is like raid or you need special configuration.
