Just installed SSD drive for Win 8.1 Pro. I now need to install a second data drive. A new WD10EZEX 1TB just arrived and it won't install.
The bios finds it, device manager finds it, disk manager does not see it at all. I attached it to a USB cable and now devise manager sees it but only as a removable drive with no media so I still can't create a partition.
As a USB drfve, I've tried to install it in two different desktops and a laptop. Same problem.
Either I've lost my mind or I have a bad drive. Any thoughts anyone? I could sure use some help.
Thanks,
Rod
p.s. I still have the drive I replaced with the new SSD. When I reinstall it into my system, the exact same problem remains.
