    Drives not showing up in My Computer


    Building a new system.

    6 sata ports

    1- Samsung ssd
    2- WD blue 1tb Sata 6gb/s
    3- WD blue 1tb Sata 6gb/s
    4- Maxtor serial ata 1.5gb/s drive

    My bios sees all 4 drives, and when I go to device manager, all four drives are the also. Right click on either of the WD drives and it says device working properly.

    On my computer, or win explorer, only the Samsung ssd and the Maxtor show up.

    Any ideas? I am stuck!!

    I am an idiot. Drives were not formatted. Formatted under disk management for future searchers.
