I connected it to my motherboard (Sata and power cable) and my BIOS shows the hard drive but the Computer Management doesn't. Please help me why?(Im useing windows 10)

does it show in Disk Management?

It most likely has to be Initialized and Formatted.

Hi there GiantPanda12,

I would totally agree with Emerald.
Here are some links on how to do that:
How to initialize a drive - http://products.wdc.com/support/kb.ashx?id=32HKy2
How to format a drive - http://products.wdc.com/support/kb.ashx?id=BCQeoM

In case the drive is not recognized by Disk Management, try swapping cables(SATA and power ones) and ports.

Let us know how this goes,
