Hi Guys,
I just build my first PC and having some issues getting Windows to recognise my HDD - a Seagate Barracuda 2TB.
I am booting from an SSD which is in Sata 2. I have the HDD plugged into Sata 4.
Bios can see the drive but it doesn't list it in the Boot Priority list, just in the Sata connection area.
I cannot see the drive in the Disk Management area of windows to create a drive name.
Any thoughts? I understand it shouldnt matter which SATA port I use...
UPDATE
I have tried changing the SATA port and SATA cable but neither has made a difference.
What's interesting is that the disk is showing in the Device Manager as a Disk Drive but not in DIsk Management.
UPDATE 2
Device Manager tells me it has the most up to date driver available.
I have tried downloading Seagate's diagnostic software, both DiskWizard and SeaTools, but neither recognise the drive.
I am really stuck here... anyone able to help?
