Patriotic Canadian Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 So i've just got a 2tb hard drive, and an external drive shell for it to work with, as my PC doesn't have a SATA supporting motherboard. (Or PCIE which is obnoxious) i've gone to partition it and format it so i can use it, and it's not showing in the disk management. i've rebooted, checked the cables, reassembled the drive enclosure, everything on gods green earth that i can think of, and despite the fact that it spins up whenever it's connected through the USB, it still won't show. Any help from anyone? this sucker is expensive and far past warrenty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MohawkMarkus Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 Look if it shows on the BIOS, if it doesn't then is because the partition format is not the correct one. You should format it to NTFS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
