yeah its new...

and its empty.

Is it not being detected by your BIOS or the OS? How are you finding out it's not being detected (i.e. you put a windows install disc/usb and it isn't showing up, it's not being displayed in the bios or the disk management utility in windows (idk about mac/linux). 

 

Also, is the HDD spinning when you turn your PC on?

Needs more v-core

Have you formatted it yet? If not go to My computer/This PC > Manage > Disk Management (left side panel)  Right-click the Unallocated Space and then create a new drive.

 

Like so
