    2.0 TB Western Digital not in "My Computer"


    Hey all,

    So I built my computer today, and everything is running as it should be except the Harddrive. It's a 2.0 TB Western Digital. It is recognized in the BIOS, but when I go to check 'My Computer" for example, only my 240GB SSD comes up.

    All help would be appreciated because I just want to get on and start gaming.

    Thanks

    Have you attempted to find it in Windows Disk Managment?

    You would need to format it and give it a drive letter, which can be done there.
