I bought 2 WD 500gb hard drives and just got them today.

I installed one as a internal for storage, Everything was going fine. I already have a WD 250gb installed as a internal with the OS on it. I started copying about 90 gigs worth of files from the 250gb to the new 500gb and it was going way to slow. It started around 50mb's and it got down to 6mb's and still falling. So I decided to cancel it, might have been a mistake. Now Windows will not recognize the drive. It does show up in the bios but not Windows. It does not show up in disk management either.
