Hello, i have bought an internal seagate barracuda for my new build but for some reason it won't show up on windows where it shows the hard disk and how much memory you have. my crucial m4 SSD works fine, i use that to boot up windows but the hard drive is not showing up. it does however show the model number in my bios boot priority. am i doing something wrong ?
 
Solution
as long as the bios sees it you are in good shape. You need to go to the disk management tool and partition & format the drive so it can be assigned a drive letter.
