    Hello I just installed a 2nd HDD in my Studio 1737, with a WD 500gb 2.5 sata drive, when I booted the studio back up after install it found and loaded a WD driver for it, I can see the 2nd HDD in BIOS, and also in disk manager, but it dose not show up in my computer. I try to go to Control panel/administrative tools/computer management/disk manager. Right-click on the drive and choose Partition, then format. The only options there is.
    Update Drvier Software

    Are you sure you're in Disk Management? Sounds like you're in Device Manager.

    Go to Disk Management, there should be a HDD with unallocated space. Make a simple partition and Windows will format it.
