4tb disk not working

[Priller]

the discwizard is saying "to install the product at least one seagate/maxtor device should be installed in your system."

so.. yea..

 

 

Ok, Do you have a Sata cable and a power cable plugged in?

 

Check the connections.

 

Plug the drive into the sata port that your OS drive uses and plug your OS drive into a different port.

 

Need to start getting rid of variables before RMA is said.

Yeah, After all of that then I would say it's DOA. Some do forget to install Disk unlockers and other software but at this point I would just do an RMA.

you are trying to use your Disc Management tool within your administration tools i take it

This is the ultimate first world problem, Oh no, my very expensive computer won't read my 4 tb HDD.

Ask for refund. And buy Western Digital.

i now dissconnected all the other hdds in the case and i can now say with certanty,, the disc is not spinning.

Assuming you know the drive has power (you know the PSU is good), it sounds like you got a DOA drive.

yes

yes it has power. i have it hooked upp to a brand new 850W powersupply.

my roommate got one as well and he is having the exact problems as i do. it might be the chipsett and bios that i need to uppdate..

the question is if the chipsett from formula Z motheboard is usable on the Formula motherboard.

[Jizburg]

going to do something stupid,.,,
going to install the latest Formula Z chipsett and drivers on my Formula board.. if it gets corrupted i should be ok with the dual bios and all...
wish me good luck.

[Jizburg]

i could not get it to work.. well.. it seems that i have to get another motherboard.... how fun.. this time i think i will go with intel.

Edit: because of incompatibility.. not because i bricked it.
