got it working!
okay heres what i had to do in case someone else ever needs to know
right click on "my computer" and select manage
Select disc management in the left pannel
Run through the wizard that should pop up
after the wizard is complete, right click on the hard drive (pannel on the bottom right) that was just initialized and select "add partition"
Allow the drive to format for a while (mine took like 30min.)
Now right click on the drive again and select "mark partition as active"
...after that mine worked fine...
