Best answers LABEL_AI_GENERATED

How do I make a new Seagate Barracuda 1TB drive appear in Windows 10 when it is visible in BIOS but not in File Explorer?

Open Windows Disk Management by running `diskmgmt.msc`; the new drive should appear there as unallocated space [#18552842][#18552846][#18552848] Right-click the unallocated space and choose “New Simple Volume…” to create a partition, then format it and assign a drive letter [#18552854][#18552862] After that, the disk will show up in My Computer/File Explorer [#18552854][#18552864]

    You can't see it in disk management too? As unformatted, no partition, it's normal that it won't show up in My Computer.
    New disk? If not, replace SMART with CDI by the way.

    Maybe because you have to ... allocate? Now create as many partitions as you want with this "disk management" and assign them letters.
    That's all. After this action, these partitions will be visible in My Computer.

    Right-click on unallocated space and select - "new simple volume ..." and so on.
