I recently built a new computer using a 64GB Solid Slate Drive as the boot drive. The SSD words perfectly fine and boots amazingly fast. However, when Windows has loaded, it doesn't detect my secondary 2TB hard drive. I attempted to go into the Disk Manager to allocate space to it and assign it a drive letter (C:/E:/Etc.) however it wasn't registered. I opened the case and checked the connections, making sure everything was connected properly. It was so I took out the HDD and plugged it into the SATA dock on the top of the case. It will then be registered as an unallocated hard drive, but when I attempt to allocate it, it fails to format. On attempts to format smaller partitions, say... 484 gigabytes instead of the full 2TB, it still fails to format and become operational. I've tried everything I can think of to get this working. So I am left with two problems.
1. The Hard Drive (And my other Laptop HDD I put into it) won't show up on disk management, but WILL be detected in the BIOS.
2. When plugged into the SATA dock, the HDD is detected but unable to be formatted or be used.
Here are my system specifications:
AMD A10-6800K 4.1GHz Quad-Core
Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing
Gigabyte GA-F2A88X-UP4 ATX FM2+
G.Skill Trident X Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-2400
A-Data Premier Pro SP600 64GB 2.5" SSD (Operating System installed)
Seagate Barracuda 2TB 3.5" 7200RPM
Asus Radeon R9 270X 2GB DirectCU II
Rosewill BlackHawk ATX Mid Tower
Rosewill 1050W ATX12V / EPS12V
NZXT Sentry 2 Fan Controller
Help would be greatly appreciated.
