i have read an rechecked many of the forum posts. the drive is being seen in BIOS , its also appearing in the device manager, the setting in BIOS is set to ACHI, i have also checked all the cables for secure connection and even tried different brand new cables with the same result..

    Did you already initialize the drive?
    Windows doesnt show the drive if you have only plugged SATA and SATA power in.
    In Disk management do a right click on the new drive "unallocated" and do a right click. choose new partition, give it a letter and size and follow the wizard. you should be good to go after that.
