Hey, so I just built a new computer and installed my OS along with a few programs I use a lot onto my new SSD. Once that was done I shut down and connected my new WD 2TB harddrive. It didn't pop up at first so I did a little research and found out I had to go to Computer Management etc... long story short it finally poped up.
about 20 minutes later I went and looked again and it was just gone.......... It's not in the device manager, not in the computer management not on the My computer screen and its not showing up in the bios either. I changed the Sata placements on the Mobo and my SSD showed up in the other port, I also swaped the cables and those worked as well. I even unplugged the power and sata cable while the computer was on then plugged them back in and I heard the harddrive start to spin.. then the computer crashed for obvious reasons. Have i overlooked something stupid? These are my specs and I'm using this new UEFI bios so maybe I'm just doing somthing wrong or maybe the drive is just dead? Any help would be great, thanks!
