3rd SATA hard drive won't format correctly
m/b: ASUS P5Q-EM CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E8400, 3000 MHz (9 x 333) O/S: Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate RAM: 8GB Hard Drive: 2 x SATA 250GB - Hitachi Deskstar T7K250; Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 250310 DVDROM: ASUS DRW-2014S1 ATA Device x 1; ASUS DRW-24B1LT ATA Device x 1 I have two SATA hard drives as can be seen above, and today bought a third drive - a Samsung 1TB SATA drive. I attached the drive and booted the machine. BIOS can see the drive. Windows Disk Management can see the drive. But... When I format the drive, it always comes up as a RAW partition and Windows cannot see it. Can someone help me to solve this problem? How can I successfully format this drive with, say, 4 partitions that are NTFS, not RAW?
