So i bought a Western Digital Caviar 500Gb HDD and ive plugged it in and when i open My Computer it still shows the C drive. The C drive is 250 GB. Is there anything i meant to do to get it work? Sorry im not Computer savvy.
I'm guessing C dive is your old one and your new one doesn't show up. Right click my computer go to manage disk management Find your new hard drive, right click it and format it Choose NTFS for the file system.

Format the partition if you can to NTFS.
