    What about right clicking Computer on the start menu > Manage > Storage > Disk Management?
    Does it appear? If it's SATA, unplug it and replug it.
    This was the next option:)

    If you havent done this before your hard drive should look similar to this

    Two connections,one from the power supply and one from the motherboard.

    im surprised that windows 7 didnt asign a drive letter to it automaticly during the install.. this is not what i call a "user friendly" OS.. =)

    The reason behind this is because of so many SATA, IDE etc derives.
    AHCI/RAID etc.
