Hi everyone,
I'm at my wits end!
I have a Verbatim 3tb hard drive that is partitioned into two separate drives. Both drives show when plugged into my laptop running Win 8 but with a legacy bios. They also show on my wife's laptop running Win 7, also with a legacy bios. My problem is that I have recently upgraded my desktop pc with an MSI Mpower motherboard which uses a uefi bios. My external hard drive does not show at all. When I go to Disk Management, it shows both drives as uninitialized. They also do not show in file explorer.
Logically, I feel that the issue has something to do with the eufi bios settings. Can you please help.
Btw, I also purchased a Seagate 3tb internal hard drive, which is my OS drive. It works just fine and only has the one partition, which shows the full 3tb capacity. I understand this as it is in GPT format.
The external drive mentioned above is in MBR format.
Thanks so much.
