I have an existing 160 GB SATA hard drive, where my operating system and softwares were installed. But when i added 500 GB HDD SATA, that new 500 GB HDD sometimes is not detected.

Yes, I already checked the sata connection and power supply, and I think it's ok. That HDD has no partition and I use it only for my music and movie files.
Motherboard: MSI 945GZM3
Processor: 3.4 Ghz Pentium D

You sure it's hooked up properly?

Including how it's connected.

make sure that you separate the master and the slave one...

It has to have a partition if you're storing anything on it. When it does show up, does it have readable files on it?

It's a SATA drive...

It may need formatting before Windows will recognise it...use the utility CD that shipped with the CD to do this.
