    Running Win7 Enterprise, 8GB RAM, ASUS P7H550-M EVO system board. I just added a 4th SATA hard drive (WD 1 TB). Device is seen by BIOS and by device manager. Win 7 does not seem to recognize this latest device and show it in "Computer." Slots and power are not an issue. Any ideas why Win 7 won't show this device? I'm stumped at this point.
