So.. I went balls to the wall and bought brand new everything and built a beast of a machine... let me say this again ALL BRAND NEW PARTS.. the problem I'm having is that my 2tb Seagate cuda hdd, is showing in my bios, as well as my device manager, however not in my disk management screen... I've looked in many places and have tried different things and nothing works, is it safe to say I need to toss the brand new hard drive I spent money On? Or is it a driver issue? Or is it something stupid I missed? Let me know guys, any answer is a good answer, thanks in advance.

screen shot of disk management screen?

I'd love to but I'm at work, I can tell you what it shows tho....


My Samsung evo 970 m.2 ssd and my reserved space for mb. Both blue lined, like I said up top, no show on disk management, only shows on bios and device managment.

No drivers needed, very odd indeed. Sorry no thoughts atm.

Perhaps try a different sata port?

On some boards certain sata ports are disabled if using an m.2 slot. Check your manual and good luck!

Have read my manual front to back, tried installing new drivers/old, it's a sata port, my m.2 is good, I've tried switching ports, still nothing, you guys think they sent me a foul hdd? Never heard of a brand new one just being broke, and newegg won't do anything for me of course... just weird that it shows everywhere else except the one place it needs to be lol, and it spins up and acts like it's under load when I plug it in and boot up, it even shows in my bios boot menu, but it goes straight to my ssd for boot, bc my os is on it.. I got one more thought in mind, might see if it'll work, if not, I'm going to the store and spending another 50 bucks on another new one.. thanks people!

You would think if was in device manager it would be in disk management. Let me know what happens.

I got it now.. very stupid, Windows 10 hid it from disk management in the "storage pool" then magically my brand new never used hdd had been used by windows 10 and I couldn't remove it... So what I did was delete everything that was put onto the disk drive, and bam it has joined the party, very dumb and simple mistake..
