I've just got and installed a fourth hard drive, but its not showing in My Computer. It shows in device manager and says its working correctly.

Any ideas?
 
I was gonna format it when windows picks it up. If i format via dos, should windows see it then?

Didnt work, the new HD wasnt there. Ive swaped the cableing about now. The new HD is now the scondary master with the DVD drice as secondary slave. It was the other way around.

I have the two other HD's as Primary master and slave.

Previous the cable swaping:
Tried to find the drive in dos but i dont know what drive letter has been assigned to the new drive?
 
sorted it now. Installed parition magic and it found the drive then partitioned it and formatted it now. All sorted! Drive H:

Thanks for help anyway :)
