Solved Installing windows on a second hard drive

[matt 1975]

Hi all,

I want to install a second copy of windows 7 on an internal HDD.

I have inserted the windows disk, pressed F11 an selected `boot from dvd.

when i get to the screen where it asks which drive I want to install to, only my C drive with my existing windows is showing??

The hard drive is visible in windows, formatted & marked as active, but as I say windows install wont recognize it. I have tried the other SATA ports (except the one running my main version of windows).

please help!!! & thanks in advance.
