HDD detection problem

So, I just bought a new PC, installed it with Windows 7.
The problem is, one of my older HDD is somehow "invicible"
My HDD is your normal WD 250 Gb
-No problems with the connection Cable
The twist is
-It's properly installed and registered in the device manager
BUT, somehow it doesn't show up in "My Computer", It worked when I tried plugging to my Sister's PC, and FYI my OLDEST HDD (I have 3) is successfully detected and displayed in "My Computer"
So, can anyone diagnose this "detection" problem?

It might just need to be activated. If you go into the Disk Management section in the Computer Management tool, you'll see a list of all connected disk drive. Right click the disk and you can set it as active.
It could also be that it has the same drive letter as another drive. Again go to the disk management and you can change the drive letter.

Ah, I have this same problem with my computer.. But I just technically ignore it since XP would boot up and everything would just work fine.
