[SOLVED] Seagate Barracuda drive not showing up

[eekpeek]

Just built my new PC and my 2tb drive doesn't show up in file explorer. In device manager, there is a yellow triangle next to it but its there so that tells me the system recognizes it. How can I make it so that file explorer recognizes it?

Can you show screenshot from Device Manager (disk drives expanded) and Disk Management?

Here are two screenshots. First one is from device manager the second is from hwinfo

as you can see they can both recognize it. i also realized that the one with the yellow triangle is not the barracuda drive, sorry about that.

In black area (Unallocated) -
create a new simple volume,
format it,
assign drive letter.

Thank you so much. It only shows 1.8tb but im guessing thats normal.
