the drive is this
pny cs900 120gb
is this not right? how do I get it to show up i need it as extra storage

Make sure the drive is initialized.

Look on Google or any other search engine for that, and I have no idea what cable you are referring to.

At the risk of asking a silly question.

Have you plugged the SATA drive into your power supply?

You should have two cables?

In this image:
SATA to MB is on the left .
SATA to PSU is on the right

Depending on how old your Mainboard is, you may have several SATA connectors, possibly in different colours (white for 3Gb/s and Blue for 6Gb/s for example)

Have you tried different SATA connectors on the board?

Presumably you don't have another SATA cable to try?

Does it show up in Drive Manager?

What OS are you using?

SATA to MB is on the left (I have) the other one no..the one on left has an L shaped look to it...running win10...guess i need one more wire
