Hi all -
I just bought a brand new Seagate 2TB Barracuda ST2000DM001.
It's not showing up/registering in BIOS or once booted into Windows 7. I'll be cloning or transferring the image from my existing HD to the new one.
In any case, I've tried everything I can think of to get the drive to register (all possible SATA and power cord combinations). I even attempted to connect it using the same cord that my main HD is normally connected through, and it was still not recongnized by BIOS.
I also see and hear no evidence that the drive is even spinning up. Obviously I am planning on returning it to the retailer and getting a new one, but are there are other key things I can try to confirm that the drive is spinning up?
I'm running a Gigabyte GA-870A-UD3 motherboard with a 750W CoolerMaster power supply.
