My problem is this, I have just built my first computer, salvaging my HDD and RAM from my old computer. I was hopinh to format my HDD and use it, but I was unable to format it.
When I start the computer it tries to run Windows from the HDD from my old setup, when I try to install Windows from my usb and then plug my HDD in, my HDD just does not show up.
I have tried the above method with a different HDD and it shows 3 partitions, but it will not let me install Windows to any of them.
My question is will buying a brand new HDD fix this problem or is something else going on?
