Hi all ive just installed two more 500gb samsung hard drives to my computer. I already have one and when i put that one in it came straight up. This time tho the bios menu thing detects them but not on my computer. At the same time tho i put in another dvd drive and that is showing on my computer. What have i done wrong?
 
You've done nothing wrong, you just haven't partitioned and formatted the new HDDs. Right click on My Computer and pick Manage, then choose Disk Management. The new drives will show as two blocks of unallocated space in the graphical view, simply right click and select Create Volume then follow the instrucions. Just remember to select a quick format or you'll be at it all week.
