So I have a sea gate 5tb external hard drive, just finished building a new build but after installing my apps and games I don't have a lot of space left. So I figured I could take the drive out and use it internally instead of externally. Now the drive is out and after plugging it into the power and sata the pc seems to recognize it only once after turning on. I bring up disk management and it asks for me to initialize the drive before use. Upon trying either of the two options it gives an error "specified files not found" after refreshing disk management the drive is no longer there, and it isn't in device manger either. If I turn off and turn back on same happens and I am unable to initialize it so that I can use it. Bios seem to be in place I even turned the hotplug option on but nothing. There is no problem with the drive because I put it back inside the external hard drive compartment and it worked without issue like that.
My question is does it need to be formatted a certain way or maybe my Msi M3 B150 motherboard does not support 5tb drives? Any type of help is appreciated because right now I don't have the money to buy more space.
Specs:
Windows 10 Home edition
I5 6600k
8gb Ram
Zotac Amp Edtion 1060 graphics card
Corsair CX 600w
And the other few extras that you need.
