Question I used DBAN on a hard drive in another system then took it and put it in my computer and windows 10 doesn't recognize the HDD.

I used DBAN on a hard drive in another system then took it and put it in my computer and windows 10 doesn't recognize the HDD. It can be seen in the BIOS but not in windows. DBAN ran for 12 hours, and the HDD is a WD Caviar Black. I can still use windows from my other HDD, but I cannot do anything with the new HDD. Thanks in advance!

No, I am using an old HP motherboard and my drives show up as a drive controller in device manager

Can you show screenshot from Disk Management?

Sorry, I didn't think this through. I am not going to be at my computer for about another week. Should I post again then, or what?

Sure. Come back, when you have access to your pc again.

I am back and I now can give you a picture of my disk management.

Assuming the drive with 'unallocated' is the DBAN'd drive in question, right click on it, and you may choose to format it from within 'storage/disk mngmt'

That fixed it. Thank you so much for the help everyone!
