| 1208236 | 2011-06-09 23:55:00 | I recently purchased a new Seagate Barracuda Green 2TB HDD (ST2000DL003) I installed it while the computer was off, and when i turned it on it installed the drivers for the hard drive but is not recognising it in windows explorer. I restarted the computer and went into BIOS, the drive is there, but still not in explorer. Have I done something wrong? Any ideas? |

| 1208240 | 2011-06-12 00:47:00 | Yes you must go into disk management and then: 1) Initialize the disk 2) Partition the disk 3) Format the partition(s) |
