I'm borrowing my mates internal 1tb Seagate 7200.11 HDD.
But I can't find it in My Computer when I have it plugged in.
I'm able to see it under device manager, but cant access it.
The drivers appear to be up to date and I don't think the connections between it and my PC are wrong as I have tried it with a SATA to USB and I've put an adapter for the power to it from my computer to straight from the wall.

Any ideas?

Also, I'm running 32bit Win7 but I cant see it on my Dads XP laptop either.

Sounds like a bad connector. I had a usb to IDE with the same issue. It would Install the drivers and show up in devices, but not my computer or disk management.

Go into disk management and take a look at your friend's 1TB drive.
If it's set to dynamic, the then you won't be able to see it.

Also if there are no data on the drive, it's a possibility it's not prepared yet.
Partition & format.

How can you even copy your stuffs in to the drive if you can't even see it in the first place?

Unless you want some stuffs that belongs to your friend which are on the drive.

With the drive plugged in, post a pic of disk management

It's probably not got a drive letter assigned. Just load up Disk Management (run diskmgmt.msc from start menu) find your drive and right click, "Change Drive Letter and Paths". Select a disk letter, tada!
