Hey there, thekevmeister.

I'm really sorry to hear about the issues with your drive. Did the process complete successfully when you've reformatted the drive?
I'd recommend that you try the HDD with a different computer, or at least with a different SATA port and cables on yours, to see if the same thing happens. You could also try connecting it via a SATA to USB adapter, a docking station or an external enclosure, after the computer has already booted to Windows, to see if it's recognized properly.

Hope that helps. Please let me know how everything goes.
