New HDD being detected in BIOS but not in Windows.
2 replies, posted
I recently purchased a new Hard Disk Drive, a Western Digital Caviar Green 2TB model, although it is only being detected in BIOS and not in Windows. HWMonitor is also displaying the temperature of the drive, but I can't interact with it in any way, or even see it in My Computer.
My specs, if they help;
Asrock 970 Extreme Motherboard
AMD Phenom 2 X6 1090T @ 4GHz
12GB G Skill 1333MHz 1.5v 9 9 9 24 DDR3 RAM
AMD HD Radeon 6970
You need to format the drive

Right click My Computer -> Manage and then go to Disk Management.
I will say Disk X 2TB (A bit less) unallocated. Right click and select New Partition.
You also might need special drivers because it's a 2TB Disk
Okay, thanks.
