Solve : new 1TB HDD won't show up in Bios/W7?

Answer»

It all started LAST week when I didn't USE my PC for a few days... all the sudden my 640gb WD internal disappeared from Windows Vista 64... came to the conclusion maybe my HDD had failed, so this week I bought a new WD 1TB HDD internal, and a copy of Windows 7, formatted my existing Samsung 160gb, installed Windows 7-64 on it, but my 1TB drive won't show up in bios, windows, anything. I'm confused? When I also have the 1TB connected Windows 7 takes forever to load up on my comp. When I unplug it my PC works just fine. HELP? I've even swapped the 2 SATA CABLES I have and same problem. Both drives are powered, it will detect the 1TB right when I turn on the PC but then says 3rd master fail, and doesn't show up in BIOS if that makes sense?You did not say what make of computer you have.
The third master is the first SATA drive on many PCs.
Is one of the drives a IDE?

Do you KNOW when this computer was made? A HDD might have a FIVE year warranty.
