Hi,

I have a 5K500 B-250, HTS545025B9SA00; which I recently put into my laptop from my PS3.

I figured, it'll be a solid way to repurpose the drive. But it seems my laptop has been completely
incapable of finding it. Not in my Disk Management or elsewhere, and I also can't seem to locate
any drivers for it... Could I get some advice?

Thanks,
Wesley

I have no idea what happened, but I restarted my computer a few times, double checked the BIOS and found that it saw it there. When I ran Disk Management for the fifth time it finally noticed it!

Literally have no idea what changed, but it's working now so I'm happy!
