I have a Seagate Barracuda 1TB HDD that Windows 8.1 cannot see. If I open up SeaTools (Seagate software), the drive can be seen there.

How can I install and then use this drive in Windows 8.1?

Thanks in advance

All my components are new and installed today. When installing the OS, the installer could see both my 120GB SSD and my 1TB, but Windows cannot. It is a brand new drive.

How can I create partitions on the drive?

Disk Management cannot see my drive either... yet the SeaTools can. Do the Seagate HDDs need a special install for Windows to see them?
