| | How to install a new SATA 6 HD under Windows 7 OK, so I just installed a new HD. Newegg.com - Western Digital Caviar Green WD20EARX 2TB 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive I hooked it all up and the BIOS seems to see it. And Windows "found new hardware" and "installed drivers". Now what?  |

| | BTW, I'm not seeing a D: But the new HD is "working properly" in Device manager. Is this normal? |
