I just bought two Samsung 2TB drives. I installed one of them (Don't have a sata cable for the 2nd, waiting on newegg to deliver it.) and it shows up in my bios screen, shows up in device manager, and the drivers for it 'installed' when I started my computer up for the first time, AND it shows up in my device manager, but it doesn't show up on my computer and I cant access it to format it. I've never had more than one drive in a computer at a time before so I don't know how exactly I go about gaining access to it.


Any ideas?

Thanks!

Are you saying that it does not show up in Disk Manager? You need to go to Disk Manager and partition and format it.
