HDD in BIOS, Not 'My Computer' (Drivers?)

[LauraKoz]

I have a 5YO HP Pavillion 520n. 1.3GHz (Intel Celeron), 256MB RAM, running on Windows XP. Recently revamped the whole thing due to a virus with complete formatting, etc. Purchased a new HDD (Seagate Barracuda 7200.8, 250GB) to use as the master and am using an older Western Digital Caviar (WD600AB) with 60GB as the slave. Couldn't get the slave to register in BIOS but finally saw it after purchasing new cables and setting the pins to 'Cable Select'.

Everything shows up in the boot up where it should and as it should (e.g. primary master, primary slave) as well as under the main tab in BIOS. In the boot device section of BIOS, there is only 1 IDE listed, but I was told this was not unusual for the cables I had and with using the Seagate as the master. However, the slave drive is not recognized on the Desktop in 'My Computer'.

I was told this was likely a driver issue (i.e. anytime you can see it in BIOS but not on the Desktop) but after visiting Western Digital's site, it seems they don't really offer many driver downloads (in fact, I don't think they even have my HDD listed anymore) and instead, point you to the manufacturer of your motherboard or card controller.

Anyone have any ideas?

If you right click my computer and choose "Manage"
Then on the left down by the bottom choose Disk Management
You should then see the 60 gig
