sometimes you have to "activate" them or some crap like that.

i have a 120 gig ssd that i am currently using as a boot and storage for my games and general office use.

 

i have bought a 2tb hdd, i have plugged the all the SATA wire in properly. yet it still does not get detected by my computer.

 

help? :\

 

 

I'll just summarize it the video above. 

 

- Open the Windows Menu> Right click Computer and click manage> Click on disk management on the left sub menu> Right click the hard drive that you just bought. It'll be pretty obvious which one it is> Click format > Leave all the settings as their default and click okay. Viola you're done.

Ahh, you got it before me. Good for you being all practical and giving of a short explanation instead of linking a 7min video.
