Having built quite a few PCs I usually have a standard routine for inserting new internal drives. I plug them in, then go into Windows Disk Management and partition/initialize/format them.
Admittedly I haven't inserted an HDD for many years (only SSDs), and certainly not as big as this. Anyway, this was for a friend on his Asus TUF B360-PRO Gaming motherboard.
I plugged the SATA cable into the connector numbered 1 on the mobo and then to the disk, and connected power from the PSU. Then I breifly checked the BIOS on boot, it was registered correctly there. I then proceeded into Windows only to discover something I hadn't experienced before: The disk shows up in Device Manager but not in Disk Management! So basically I couldn't make use of it.
Screenshot of device manager and disk management below (Norwegian OS in case you're wondering). The Kingston drive (C: ) is an M.2 drive.
Has anyone of you experienced this before? I will contact Seagate support, but I just thought I'd try my luck here first.
The only thing I tried so far was to switch connector on the mobo (from 2 to 1). Same result. I haven't tried changing SATA cable, although I'm not sure it'll help given that it seems to be correctly registered in both the BIOS and Device Manager.
Oh, and I also just to be sure downloaded and installed the SATA drivers for the mobo. Same result.
Cheers
EDIT: The screenshot doesn't show the disks in Disk Management, but there was only one there, DISK 0, and that was the Kingston M.2 drive.
