Using XP Pro I just installed a new 500GIG WD SATA drive. When I booted after installing it the new hardware balloon recognized it, it shows up in BIOS as 4th master, all 3 of my drives are SATA. I want to use this one as a scratch disc. Device manager says it's working properly but it doesn't show up in My Computer & obviously it's not assigned a letter so what gives guys? Never encountered this before.
Thanks for any "now here's how"

You no longer need to guess! This free stability scan and registry cleaner download will give you a complete diagnosis of your Windows registry, identifying errors and conflicts.
Another way would have been to go to Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Computer Management > Disk Management. There you can format and initialize your new drives.
