Hello

What OS are you using? Did you initialize the HDD?
Click to expand...

I am using Windows 10 Home
And it doesnt show up in Disk Management to be initialized, it shows up in device manager under "hard disks" but when i got to disk management its not there
 
Try this.

And quote:


Enable and Format the Drive in Disk Management
Open the Start menu and type "disk 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?
