    did you see the hdd being detected at start up in the bios, when you sata starts up the sata bios should pick it up, after that then I presume you're using 2k or xp right.

    if so go to admin tools, in disk management you can see the new drive in there, just create a new volume and format it!

    Have you formatted the new drive with its own software?Are all drivers loaded for pci card?
