@jamesmcuk so you think if i buy the full it will work fine? Because I feel like this would still be able to recognize my hard drive and inform me that it wont work after
No I don't think it would resolve the current problem but it will be an issue when you do get the installation to see the hard disk.
Having had a look at the Case Manual this looks like its going to be the source of your problem here below:
The Easy Swap slot is embedded to enable ultra fast
transfer (up to 3.0Gbps) of large data to a SATA hard disk
without having to use an external storage enclosure. To
ensure proper operation, please make sure the following
settings are correct:
1. Ensure all required drivers are installed for your
motherboard or SATA controller card.
2. Squeeze to pull the HDD tray out.
3. Mount the 3.5” HDD into the tray with screws provided.
4. Slide the HDD tray back to the HDD cage.
5. Connect the SATA cable to an available SATA
connector on the motherboard or SATA controller card.
6. Connect the power cable to power supply.
7. Ensure AHCI (Advanced Host Controller Interface) is
enabled on your motherboard or SATA controller card. The
AHCI enables for “hotswap” capability of the SATA hard
drives without having to turn off the computer prior to
connecting or disconnecting of the hard drive. Please
follow instruction provided by your motherboard or SATA
controller card to enable the AHCI function.
If you are using a brand new hard drive, the hard drive will
need to be initialized (formatted) before it is accessible.
For more information on how to initialize (format) a new
hard drive, please refer to the hard drive user manual or
