Harddrive problem

Messages

I just rescently bought a new harddrive for my other computer, and I have it installed properly, but the problem I am having is that when I open up "My Computer" the harddrive isnt there and its already said "Detecting and installing new hardware." Im really confused at this point. Can someone help?
 
oh i had that problem before.... It it formated....? does it have an Other os on it?.....that could be a prob...least that was mine
 
I bought the drive brand new from newegg.com and there was no os on it, I havent checked my bios yet so I'm going to go ahead and see.
 
Its enabled in the bios and I double checked the pins before I installed it. I hope I dont have to reformat just to get the computer to recognise harddrive. :(
