I have a 250GB SSD running my OS. I recently added the 1TB WD Blue HDD as a secondary for extra storage. The WD Blue HDD shows up in BIOS and in Device Manager>Disk Drives, but not in File Explorer or Disk Management. Initialize Disk Wizard won't run. Therefore, I can't initialize the drive, give it a letter, or format/partition it. In Device Manager>Properties, it says the device is working properly, but in Device Manager>Events it says it failed to migrate.
Since both drives are SATA, I don't think jumpers and master/slave settings apply.
The only other thing I can think that is might be is a missing driver, but I don't have the mobo manual and I don't even know what driver it is that I'd need, or where to start looking for it.
I've tried using different SATA ports, different SATA cables.
I have a HPE 310t with a MSI 2A9C mobo and an Intel H57 (IbexPeak DH) chipset. I'm running Windows 10.
Why won't my OS recognize the HDD?
