So I recently got a new harddrive (2TB)
- WD Black 2TB Performance Desktop Hard Disk Drive - 7200 RPM SATA 6 Gb/s 64MB Cache 3.5 Inch
^Thats what it is

Anyways, so I plugged it in correctly and set it up but anytime I shut down my PC and power it back on its gone and I have to shut it down again and turn my PC back on before it appears, does anyone know how I can fix this problem because its very tedious and I don't really understand why it would happen. If anyone could help out that would be fantastic.

If your UEFI or BIOS has a fastboot option, is it on? I wonder if letting the computer take more time to make a more thorough check of the existing hardware might generate an informative report as to what and why the situation is happening.
