Hi everyone,

I recently built a computer, and my two storage drives are not showing up in my computer, and I cannot access them. They show up in the disk management tool as disk 0 and disk 1, so I initialized both disks. That didn't help. Currently, the only place I can see them are in the disk management tool, and there is no option to format the disks when i right click. Both disks are 3TB western digital BLACK series. Anyone know how to fix this? I'm on windows 10. Here are some pics:

Yes, so what SHOULD happen, is I right click, and there will be an option to format the drive. That option doesnt show up. When I right click, you can see my options in the photos I posted.

You have to create a partition before you can format it. You cannot format "Unallocated space". Be aware of the size limits of partitions on MBR partitioned disks.
