Hello everybody
I have a problem with my brand new WD 4TB GREEN Intelipower SATA 3 HDD (WD40EZRX)
I want to use it as a data drive in my PC (win 7 64 bit installed on another drive). When i plug it in the PC (via SATA) it was detected in BIOS but not his size. In win the drive isn't detected anywhere (my computer, disk management...). Also if the new drive is connected everything is extremely slow (from POST to win start-up). From power up and up to the point of entering windows the new hdd is also making a strange sound (not clicking, like spinning up stooping then spinning up again and again)
When i connected the hdd via a sata to USB adapter windows detected it. When trying to initialize it i get the incorrect function error (to either GPT or MBR)
Also tried windows set up - drive is also not detected.
Is there something i am missing or did i get a faulty drive?
Thank you for any and all help.
