New hard drive not showing up!!!


I recently bought an extra internal hard drive for my computer - which
runs windows vista. I installed it and put the power cable and SATA
cable in and it shows up in Device Manager. But it doesn't show up in
my computer as an additional hard drive. I believe I have to format it
or something. How do I do that?
