I added a second hard drive today using sata . It does not come up when i click on my computer.When booting up it shows it and both drives are labeled master. Do i have to and how do i change the new one to slave?
How do i get this thing to show up on my computer??

Also in computer management it says the drive is unallocated!

SATA doesn't work like old IDE drives. There is no slave/master setup.

If you're seeing it in Computer Management you're good. All you have to do now is allocate it.

You should be able to just right click on it from Disk Management and Activate/Format the drive.
