• 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 [editline]4th October 2011[/editline] 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.
