CPU/Mobo problem with new sata hard drive!!!

[sndpgr]

I have just upgraded my pc , changed my mobo(now it's intel mobo), cpu (core2duo E4600) and a Gb of ram(transdend) and 360 Gb Segate sata hard drive . Before that i had an 80 Gb Pata hard drive which I am still using as a primary drive.
So when I installed the new drive (360 Gb one) , it's showing in the device manager, how ever it's not showing in the my computer space.
In the bios I checked the hard drive is connected in the sata slot 3.
Help!!!!:huh:

hav u made partitions ?

go to computer management/disk management and make partitions

format the drive :|

Set sata HDD as Primary (or first) & IDE one as Slave.. Make sure the IDE controllers are enabled in bios..
If there is any jumper on IDE HDD, remove it..

Now ! how do I partition it. the drive now is a dynamic disc , when Itry it to partition it with partition magic it says 'The disc contains one or more partitions which cannot be moved'.
Now what is a dynamic disc and what do I do now!!!!?

in disk management did u make it NTFS and do a quick format ?

 

[sndpgr]

Change the HDD to run as a Basic disk, Dynamic HDD's give a lot of problems.

Check this page on how to change a dynamic disk to a basic disk....
