adding hard drives to dell poweredge 2900
I have added a 1TB hard drive to our Poweredge 2900. After installing the hard drive, what do I do next? I thought all i needed to do was put in in the machine and I would be good to go. Do I need to partition the drive? What do I do to get it to show up in my list of drives (map it or what)? HELP!!!!

I'd say you have your drive on a RAID controller, you'll need to either configure the drive as a new container OR reconfigure an existing container to use the additional drive. Additional possiabilites are that you did not mount the drive properly into a drive carrier and the connections on the back of the drive are not reaching the plug on the backplane.
