I added a new HDD to my computer for extra storage but my computer doesn't recognize it. I checked in BIOS and it shows only the primary HDD. Any suggestions?
 
Hi there strudlmaker,

You will have to double check the connections. This means: switch cables(SATA and power one) and SATA ports. If the issue persists, I guess you can try the drive on another system. This way you will be sure whether the drive is faulty. If it is, you can just contact the manufacturer's Support and eventually RMA it.

Cheers,
