Hey, I just got my WD Blue 1Tb and I plugged it in, SATA III and the power. nI started my pc and it suddenly started to install some drivers marked under WD-some random letter and numbers. Then it prompted me to reboot, so I did. Then when it came back on, I checked to see if it was there (Windows-Key+E) and nothing, just my SSD. Have I done something wrong or is the product just faulty?
Or perhaps I forgot something?
Anyways I have no idea, help is always appreciated.

If it is seen by DISK MGMT (diskmgmt.msc) than go to Disk Management and select the Hard Drive on the Physical Driver section ---> Properties ---Hardware-->Properties--> Driver ---> and Uninstall the drivers.

Then Go To device Manager ---> and scan for new Hardware ---> it will recognize the Hard Drive and re-install it's drivers making it show up again!

It does not get detected by diskmgmt. Only my SSD and something labeled REserved for System which is 100MB

Wait... I went far into the OS and got it to appear, then followed the advice. Thanks.
