I have just installed a secondary HDD in my machine. It is recognised in CMOS and Device Manager, but won't show up in My Computer or Windows Explorer.
Is there any procedure I should follow to eliminate this problem?

The drive must be partitioned/formatted. Right click My Computer, select 'Manage', Select "Disk Management. You can do that there.

If the the jumpers were not set correctly, then the HDD probably would not be recognised in CMOS and Device Manager.
