Unable to Format Internal Drive

Question

New Seagate internal hard drive (ST3000DMZ07) shows up in Device Manager and is listed in BIOS settings but unable to see it in Disk Management. Need to format drive and partition it but unable to see it. Took the set up removing volume and then scanned for changes to add it back in Device Manager. Also attempted to update driver, showed the most current driver was already installed. Any further steps before I send this drive back to Newegg?

Answer 1

Open command prompt with Administrator privileges.
Run Diskpart.exe to see if the disk shows up: list disk.
if the disk doesn't show it, there might be an issue with the drive.
If the disk does shows up, attempt to create a partition and format it:

Select disk #
create partition primary size=n
select part 1
format ntfs quick
assign
