Try turning off your pc and install your hdd,then turn it back on and it should be recognized by the OS,and install the driver by itself.You could always go to the manufactures website.

You may need to update your motherboard sata drivers. Go tho the manufacturer of whoever made your mobo (or PC) and download the latest ones there.

i think your problem is that you have RAID enabled for the port(s) that you have your drives plugged into. and the F10 for setup, is for setting up your raid, and it's not working because the drives are different. this is also why windows is asking for drivers (SATA RAID/AHCI drivers).
when you boot up your computer, press F2 or delete. you will see a blue screen for your BIOS. find the section where it will ask the "mode" for the IDE channels. they should be set to "IDE mode", and not RAID or AHCI or SIL32 (silicon raid if your board has it). once you get it working, you can install the motherboard's SATA RAID drivers, then go back in and change the IDE channel mode to AHCI and get better performance from your drives.
