Installing a New Hard Drive
I've managed to Fix the problem My friend brought over the Kit to plug it in via USB, the computer recognised it and I was able to make a partition on it and set it up as my D: Drive. Then when I re-enstalled it into the computer, I needed to set it up again in the manager, but its working now Thank you for all the help and suggestions everyone.
The only explanation I have is that it was completely blank, no partition, it didn't even know how much space was available. But hay, it worked, so for anyone who has the same problem as me, this is what I did: (keep going till it works, stop once it dose)
I went to Computer management (right click on your computer folder, then choose manage)
Looked under storage to find the second drive (for me it wasn't there, for you it should be.
Went to control panel - Device Management and scanned for new hardware (again nothing but for you it should be different)
In the Bios I enables CSM, you can find how to do this in you motherboard manuel.
I checked that I was using AHCI, this is found in control panel - Device Management - IDE tab
Checked computer Management and device management again
Then used a device to connect it to the computer via usb, set it up in computer Management
Re-installed the drive, and set it up again in Computer Management (named it and partitioned it).
Then I was good to go!
