Exclamation Can't see my harddrive

I have recently installed a second harddrive. Bios detects it no problem, device manager detects it no problem, but it is invisible in "my computer". I have had slave harddrives before so its nothing to do with not having enough room for IDE controllers. Theres no stupid rule that the master has to have more capacity than the slave because my master is 120gb but my slave is 250gb. Any help would be greatly appreciated

You need to format the drive, if you have xp, look at disk management. If it is there then it needs formatting.

Convert?

sorry to sound so stupid, but it asks me to initialize and then convert to dynamic disk?, which do i tick. Initialize is ticked by default but convert isn't.

Hmm, i personally use PQ Magic, try formatting the disk with fdisk. I don't know enough about Disk Management, you could google this question, but i don't want to advise you wrongly on your new purchase.
