Help installing a hard drive

Post by PlastiCup »

Hey all,

not sure if this is hardware or software so i'll start here and try there if needed. i bought a new hard drive, western digital 1.5 terabytes. put it in the computer, connected the cables, booted it up. windows doesn't see it, but instead sees a new cd drive. how do i fix this?
