You have to format it in Device Manager for the file manager to recognize it.

Hi there Pappagaming,

How is the drive recognized by Disk Management?
In case it is not, it may be a good idea to go to your MOBO's website and update your SATA drivers.
In case it is, you can just partition and format it.(assuming it is a new drive)

Attaching the drive with different cables to another port may be a good idea as well.

Let us know how this goes,
