    I have Asus g71 and I added wd 640gb hdd to secondary slot.
    During windowns clean installation I could see both drives could b picked for install. But when I'm in windowns and I look under my computer I only have the primary hdd displayed :( I checked bios on startup and sata show hdd connected to it.

    Did I miss something on the way ?

    Right-click computer-> manage-> Disk Management and partition/format the drive.
