Before i start i would like to thank whoever helps me with my little problem in advance <33

I recently bought a OEM - Deskstar 7K160 (HDS721616PLA380) so it really came with no cd's or instructions.

My problem is, i installed the HD, loaded up my computer and i got the initial Plug and Play driver load up / detection box on the bottom right.

As i went to check My Computer to see if the HD icon was there i didn't see anything. Even though i've checked Device manager, did the Control panel > Add Hardware step and those two sources say that the HD is working properly and is being acknowledged.

I thought to myself, maybe it's a driver update or something i need to do. Well, i checked around and couldn't seem to find a drivers for the HD.

I even checked my MOBO manufactures website and btw my MOBO is a Asus - PSP800s-x.

So in a nut shell, i know i'm completely missing a step, or i'm just being plain dumb and not seeing something that might be very simple to fix.

Any help on this would be much appreciated. Thnaks! <3

(Please feel free request any further information regarding my PC setup if needed)

Re: HDD not showing up (but being detected)

Hi welcome to TSF!

Go to the disk manager (right click My computer and select manage, the disk management). See if the drive shows there (probably as unallocated). It won't show in Windows until it is formated and you can do that in Disk management.

Paul you are the man, it was exactly as it said it was.

And my hunch on being something simple was correct :\
