Well my original rig had an identical hdd and I accidentaly physically brook the sata power during cable management. Since my dad just got the same exact hdd and doesn't use it he said i could have it. Problem is when I put his hdd and hooked it up, windows (8.1) doesn't recognize it in disk management. So I looked in the bios and I was able to fin it but I couldn't manage it from there. What should I do to correctly setup this drive? Btw it is roughly 3 weeks old and had/has no data on it.
