I built my first computer not too long ago, at first I just used a 240gb crucial m500 ssd, but now I recently bought a seagate barracuda 3tb hard drive for extra storage. The bios detects the hard drive and it says it works fine, in windows 8 however, it doesn't detect it, and I can't find it anywhere. Any suggestions?
You have to go to disk management and format the drive. If you don't you can't use it. When you get a hard drive it is just unallocated space. You have to format it to something in order to use it.
