Hey guys. Recently, i have come up on a problem. I wont waste your time, lets get right into my point. So, i bought my 1tb hdd and it isnt working. Basically, when i go to disk management to format my harddrive (I need to format it, since it wont appear in this pc, etc) i click format, do the normal format procedure, then, in the middle of formatting, it says "Formatting unsucessful" or something similar. And then the hdd dissapears from the disk management screen. After it dissapears, i have to restart the computer to make it show up again. I even tried seatools, a long, and fast check on the hdd. It showed no problems (at least that i could tell, i hadnt used it before) I thought maybe the problem was because my hdd, and my ssd (My ssd is the one with windows on it) were BOTH master disks. But i still cant figure out the problem. Also, remember, im not super smart with computers, so give me an answer like im 5.

Possibly try a different cable or different SATA port on the motherboard.
