My 3tb Red

[ThorinDev]

Hi!

 

I just build my first PC! Yay! #pcmasterrace

I have a ssd for boot and a 3tb red for storage. But my red doesn't work anymore.

Is there any software I need to install for it to work?

no, check your storage partitions, if you use windows 8.1 use the search bar and type in "partition" click "create and format hard drive partitions"

the you'll see a grey-ed out section, thats your HDD, double click it and set it as a hard drive

how do I do this in 7?

[Fictionvl]

in windows 7 go to the search bar in control panel and type in "partition" and Adminstrative tools should come up click the Create and Format Hard Disk Partitions

 

 

 

this window should pop up 

 

 

this just double click the grey bar, should be named Disk 1 or something like that, you'll know which one because it will have the 3TB under it

 

and just click next and so on, you can name and chose which letter the drive is
