Adding Hard Drive To Dell E521

I purchased a Dell 500GB Hard Drive to upgrade my Dell E521.  There was no problem installing it.  The drive shows up in the Bios, but the drive does not appear in My Computer, so I cannot access it.  The system has Windows Vista Home, 32 Bit, Service Pack 2.  Any input?

    Awesome!  I knew it was easy.  Thanks for the help.  I was missing the Command Prompt step.
