Ok so i bought a new hard drive but im having trouble installing it, it says it detected it and an icon next to my time pops up saying safely remove hardware. If i go to add hardware in the control panel it finds it and tells me its working properly but when i look on my computer for the drive it doesnt show up

Go to your disk management and format the hard drive.
"safely remove hardware" this pops up because sata hard drives are hot swappable.
 
I just see the C drive, If i click it i see Disk 0(Primary Partition) if i scroll down i Disk 1 (the one im trying to install) and its Unallocated, I see no way to format it
 
Right click on the Unallocted box(The area right of the Disk 1 Box) there should be an option to format, partition, change drive letter, etc.
