@James Davidson Thanks for reaching out to Microsoft Q&A. Are you saying that the new disk you created doe snot show up when you try to add this disk to the VM? If not, please correct me.
Can you confirm that the new disk you created and the VM are in the same location/Resource Group etc., and that the disk is currently unattached to any other resources?
If possible, provide me the details for both the disk and the VM such as location/Resource Group etc., so I can verify if everything matches. Thank you!
yes, it is only attached to my vm.
I only have one vm
Hi James, assuming that you have created the data disk and that it is attached to the VM already then you will still need to initialise and format the disk within the operating system before you can use it.

I saw a "disk 0 partition 3" thing in the disk management and i saw it wsas part of the os disk
it does not recognise the new disk
also host caching resets to read only when i put it to read/write
