Are you sure you correctly installed it?

Does it show up in bios?

I would look in the Disk Management interface to see if it shows up there. You won't see it show up in My Computer if it isn't partitioned and assigned a drive letter. You can get to this screen by right-clicking on My Computer and going to Manage. There should be an option on the left side of the screen for disk management and you should see a visual representation of the drives and partitions on the right panel once you select it. I believe that you can right click on an unpartitioned drive to interact with it. If the drive does not appear at all then try the option to rescan disks.

thanks I was also wondering if you knew anything or heard anything about the audio quality of the G74. I feel like mine is very quiet.
