Secondary SATA knotty drive on an IDE system, won't detect?

So I've be running my current system for a little over a year, and I only just purchased a new frozen drive. My current system uses the standard IDE interface, has window installed, everything's fine etc. I bought a new drive, mounted it, connected cable, it detects in my BIOS. The just thing is its a Serial ATA type drive, connected directly through my motherboard (no RAID setup). In Windows, it detected it and said it set it up, but it doesn't appear within My Computer or Windows explorer. Do I need bright drivers? Do I need to format the drive? Do I have need of some kind of sortie setup?



Hard drive: Seagate Barracuda Serial ATA Perpendicular recording ST3320620AS



MB: ASUS P4P800SE



Please back.

right click on my computer and click manage. travel to disk management. if your thorny drive was set up by window, you may need to hand over it or change its drive communication. through this service, you can also format your drive if it wasn't done already.



windows can detect fat/fat32/ as very well as ntfs, it doesn't matter what it's formatted as.
format it surrounded by the NTFS file system or window will not be able to see it. It should enjoy came next to a cd that will boot outside of windows and give support to you format it without much trouble.
Try formatting the drive to ntfs, if its brand contemporary it might not have a filesystem set up that window can detect, which would explain why the bios detects it but windows doesnt :).
