My hardrive is being recognised in the bios and in the device manager under 'disk drives'. However it doesnt appear in 'this pc' and when I go to format the drive, only my ssd appears. There is no unallocated drive or anything. I have tried to install drivers and change the sata connection and restart but nothing changes. I have also rescanned disks and still nothing. Can someone help?
Boot up a Windows setup DVD and see if that recognizes the hard drive's existence. Go as far as the part where it shows the partitions. There you will see your HD if it works. Then POWER OFF.
