Segate 1.5TB Not Recognized

I just purchased a Segate 1.5TB sata drive (ST31500341AS) from Neweg
for a great price of $129.00 w/free shipping. The problem is tha
Vista64 Home Premium does not show the drive in the Disk Managemen
utility. I have several 1TB drives from Seagate (ST31000340AS) whic
work fine. I’ve connected the new drive to a Sata cable which worked O
with a 300G drive so the port is enabled in the BIOS. I don’t think
see the new drive as the PC is booting because the screen with tha
information goes by so quickly – but I’m 99% sure it is not listed
Folks on the Newegg site mentioned issues with the firmware but mine i
even newer than the revision that reportedly fixed previous issue
