    I have a question that is a little lame but I am going to ask it any way. I have installed a slave drive the jumper settings are correct the system boots, Windows is running fine, and the devices appears fine in device manager, I am not seeing the drive in Windows explorer will I see it and how do I save files to its location. Do I need to format or partition this somehow and if so could someone hold my hand while I do it?

    Go to device manager and format it from there by right-clicking on the drive. Choose NTFS.

    If you right click "My Computer" and go to manage you will get a little screen called "Computer Management" if you look in the column down the left hand side you will see something called "Disk Management". Click on this, or double-click it if you'd rather a separate window. You should be able to see your drive in there if you have the jumper set right, and then just continue like the last guy said by right-clicking it and formatting it to NTFS. If it doesn't show up in windows after that I don't know what you did :p haha. GL dude.
