Thanks to this site and all the people on the forums's help I've built myself a massive computer with tons of hardware and never really bothered to much with the space, happened upon a 300gb WD caviar blue , exact same model as the one I'm currently using.
Plugged the WD HDD into the sata II ( 2 ) slot on my motherboard and when my computer powers on it makes a buzzing noise, I assumed the drive was failing / dying or I didnt have enough power for a second HDD. I just got an evga 500 bronze so i powered up the HDD a second time and same result.
Edit 1: http://prntscr.com/2eayol Primary HDD - Second HDD not being detected
I just bought a windows 8 restore DVD and tried to format the hard drive and I got multiple errors saying the drive was locked or missing peices of the OS ( started to doubt the bad heads or failing harddrive ) but when i boot from the DVD drive it dosent allow me to enter cmd or anything anymore. Any ideas? is rebuilding the BCD a possible fix? The drive dosent show up in windows, bios or device manager but boots into an error without the buzzing noise.
