HDD not working

[vetlejakob]

I built my PC, everything ran smoothly. But My HDD won't show up in bios, but will in my discmanagement where it says it's only 3,86gb and it's a 2tb HDD. I can't do anything with it. I've switched sata cable multiple times, tried plugging it in on another sata port. Nothing has worked so far, which has me concerned that it is a faulty HDD, but when i access proporties on the harddrive it says it's in a totally fine condition. I do not know what to do anymore, so help would be appreciated.

Sounds bad. Device manager > Disk drives > properties > Volumes > populate. What does it show ?

I went an downloaded sata drivers from asus’ website and it told me to restart my PC, so I did. My Pc is now stuck in bootloop and i have no idea what to do. I did not get the chamce to see tye properties of the disc, but will as soon As i get some help about what to do with this bootloop.

Is it only disk in the machine ?

 

[vetlejakob]

Windows is installed on my ssd, so no. I’ve been using my m.2 ssd and it’s been working good, But As soon As installed those drivers it went into bootloop. It has now done so for more than one hour .

Ugh, why SATA drivers ? Those are probably for RAID. Do you have original disk with windows ?

 

[vetlejakob]

Yes, I still have the ssd. Thats Where i temproarily store all my data until my HDD got fixed, But Nothing has seemed to work.

I mean do you have a disk or USB with windows installation ?
