Re: HDD's not showing up in disk managment HELP!

think of Physical hard drives can actually be placed in your hands ........when partitioned they are physically there

logical partitions are there in thoery or logic ..........logical drives are developed from partitions

thats how you get C / D / E drives all off one drive


your partitions are not set up correctly


download and use the free program called EASUS Partition Manager home edition
\
then delete all partitions on the new hard drive / then create the partitions as you like them ......... a hard drive can have 4 primary partitons and more logical one

stick with labeling each partition as a primary partition

then use that same program to format the drives with NTFS its fast as hell


each time you have the program perform a task .........you must hit the "apply" button on the lower right corner of the program
