Well actually not nothing. My motherboards BIOs recognizes it's there.

But nothing from Windows. It's not in Disk Management. It's not in DISKPART. It's not there when I boot into the Windows 10 installation suite.

I'm befuddled.

did you make sure all the wires are plugged in fully? One wire connects it to the motherboard, the other connects it to the power supply. There might be a loose connection, or a bad wire.

If it wasn't plugged in then the bios wouldn't show it would it? I think it's a problem with Windows acting up.

you'd be surprised. Windows is naturally a terrible operating system to begin with, so double check everything.

is it formatted? the right type? did you ... try unconnecting and reconnecting it all again ...?

is it for some strange reason not compatible with one of the things you're using?

My guess is it's not but I dunno how to format a drive that's not showing up in Windows.

That's a good question, I forgot to check that. Yes, it's there.
