    wd caviar green shows up in bios only


    using 32 bit home premium win7 installed on 320gb wd. Installed a 500gb wd caviar green .

    the bios setup sees it as the 4th drive and the smart NCQ says not supported
    transfermode says P10 0

    does not show up in devices or window storage under management.

    checked 7 compatiable not shown but the box says win 7..

    need some help

    You don't give us any system information, but here's what pops into my head off hand;
    Your BIOS may not be addressing the drive properly, so it can't present it to the OS, so to speak.
    Check your BIOS settings and tinker with them a bit. See if that helps.
