Installing second SATA hard drive

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry


I am trying to install a second SATA hard drive in my DELL. The bios
sees, Windows XP sees the hardware and says its working ok. The Disk
Management tool does not see it nor does windows explorer see it.
What do I do to get the drive up to format etc?
