So, maybe the primary hard disk which came with your PC isn't that big after all. Now you are at a point of installing a secondary SATA hard disk for your rig.
You slot in the spanking new hard disk in the drive cage, tighten the mounting screws, connected one end of the SATA cable to the hard disk, and the other to the motherboard, and even connected the power cable linking to your PSU. You did everything right to this point. Then you booted up your Windows Vista, it recognizes your hard drive, then what next? Okay, follow these steps.
Go to Start -> all programs -> accessories -> run.
Type in diskmgmt.msc and press enter. This will bring up the Disk Management tab for you. Here you should see all your hard drives listed. Scroll down, and your newly installed hard drive should not be initialized yet, so you have to get it done here. You can format it, name the volume, etc. After you have done this, you should be able to use your new hard disk.
