I just received a new 1.5 TB Hitachi 7200 rpm drive SATA 6GBs.
I installed the hard drive and it is detected in the bios. I updated the marvell controllers and USB 3.0 controllers. The drive also shows up in device manager.
I am at a loss as why I cannot see the drive. I am sure it needs to be setup and formatted, but the drive came without an install disk and hitachi site has nothing that even notices it. Any idea's?

Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Computer Management > Disk Management tab. You should be able to format the drive there.

Right click My computer, Manage, then disk management. It should come out there for you to format.

Thanks. I feel stupid lol. I forgot to do that step. Sometimes I wonder if my brain is going as I grow older.

That worked. Thanks for the reminder.

All of the above but you will need to initialise the disk before you can do anything. You can initialise from the disk management tab... enjoy

Okay, your there

Naa,,, dont worry about it.. we have all done that kinda thing
