You either need to format it or assign it a drive letter. you can do that in computer manager under the disk manager tab.

it shows up in the bios but not in disk management

Make sure you have the latest sata drivers for your motherboard. Some boards don't support larger hdd capacities until the drivers are updated. I  would also try using 3rd party software like EaseUS's partition master, which is free.

Are you really looking in disk management or are you just double clicking "MY COMPUTER"?

                  Did I help you to fix your problem or at least did offer somewhat valuable advice? Consider giving my post a "informative" or "thumbs up".
