    I just installed a 2nd hard drive in my Studio 17 that I've had for about a year. I'm running Windows 7 Pro 64-bit. The 2nd hard drive shows up in the "Hardware Manager" but it doesn't show up as a drive under "My Computer"

    Is there something I missed? something I need to change? I did a search but can't find anything in this forum about my problem. Thanks in advance for any help and Merry Christmas.
