Hi there Pappagaming,

How is the drive recognized by Disk Management?
In case it is not, it may be a good idea to go to your MOBO's website and update your SATA drivers.
In case it is, you can just partition and format it.(assuming it is a new drive)

Attaching the drive with different cables to another port may be a good idea as well.

Let us know how this goes,
