    Hello

    What OS are you using? Did you initialize the HDD?

          Try this.

          And quote:

          Enable and Format the Drive in Disk Management
          Open the Start menu and type β€œdisk management,” and press Enter when the Create and Format Hard Disk Partitions option appears. Once Disk Management loads, scroll down to see if your disk appears in the list. If it does, make sure it’s online and formatted.

            It that does not work for you post a complete screen shot of Disk Management
            Make and model of the new drive.
            Was the drive new or used?
            Where did the drive come from?
