    I just added a Western Digital 160GB HD to the second bay in my DV9410, and I'm having sort of a problem.

    If I look under device manager, the drive is present and said to be operating properly, but I don't see it at all under My Computer?

    Can someone tell what the deal is.

    Thanks

    You'll have to format it.

    Go start --> control panel --> admin tools --> comp management --> disk management

    right click the new drive and hit format, choose NTFS
