I have another HDD plugged into my dads computer and its "Not detected" as it said "WDC3500 Driver found" when i started up. WHAT? i didnt know you needed drivers for a HDD?!? lol. i tried switching the SATA ports with no luck.

Did you create a New Simple Volume in Disk Management in order to use your drive?

I think you'll need to go into the disk partitioning and make a new volume

Yes, you first need to configure it in Disk Management for it to work correctly.
