Does an internal drive need to be formatted to be recognized?
Last response: in Storage
Hello,
I just purchased a secondry 3GB SATA III internal drive and installed it however it does not show up as a drive with my others when I go into Windows Explorer. Does it need to be formatted before Windows recognizes it?
