Hi guys
After a bit of help if anyone can shed some light on this for me please.
I've just bought a new external usb HDD to take the drive out of and install in my desktop. It's a WD elements white label but I can't get it to be recognised.
Works as usb drive and is recognised fine. When I install to a sata port it powers up but isn't recognised in explorer, disk management or diskpart on the pc I want to install in.
I already have a 3tb and 4tb drive in there and from plugging into usb I can tell the 8tb is formatted using gpt.
The motherboard of pc is Gigabyte Ga-990fxa-ud3 rev 1.1 and is running latest bios. The ssd that windows 10 runs on is formatted as mbr. Would that be the issue?
Anyone run into the same problem or have any idea what the issue could be?
