Why cant I see a new hard drive I've added in My Computer, i made sure that the jumpers where set correct could it be the new hard drive ive tried it on two different computers and both ignore it.
 
use your xp cd (boot off of it) to just partition it (you can now format it in my computer)

or go to admin tool disc management

or get partition magic
 
Easiest way...

Sometimes new HDD's are not visible through My Computer, if you open the Control Panel, goto Administrative Tools and then Computer Management. Select Disk Management from the left pane and find your HDD on the right. Right click the new hdd and select 'Format' or 'Activate disk'.
