Best Answer

If you are using EIDE/IDE drives, make sure that jumpers were set properly. If you are using SATA, check BIOS if required SATA ports are ON. Also, windows 7 does not show drives which it cannot activate for use. You need to go in Computer Management->Disk Management. You will show you menu that you drive has to be activated, choose appropriate option from the menu, partition it and you are ready to move on.
