We encourage all members to enter their system details, it could help resolving this and any future issues you may have.

At the very least we'll need to know which version of windows you have.

 

sorry i forget not everyone is a mind reader lol
its a new build
windows 7 64bit with an ASUS sabretooth X58 mobo

 

Ok, start by reading Install or remove a hard disk drive since you've already installed the drive if you scroll down to Preparing to use a new hard disk you should have all the directions you need.

Note: These instructions are for vista but should be the same (or very similar) for 7.

Let us know how you get on

 

sorted! that was easy and simple thanks

 

No problem

Glad I could help.
