    You just need to plug it into your computer and then format it for use on your computer.

    Let me know please if you already connected it to the computer?

    Was it recognized normally?

    Perform formatting as directed below.

    First open the Command Prompt, press Windows + R, type cmd and click OK.

    1. In the Prompt type DISKPART, when it opens, DISKPART will appear on the left.
    2. Type LIST DISK, this command will list the hard drives installed on the machine, pay close attention not to choose the wrong hard drive.
    3. Type SELECT DISK “X”, in place of the X put the number for the HD you want to format, put without quotes.
    4. Now just type the commands below and press Enter at each command.
    5. Commands:

    CLEAN

    CREATE PARTITION PRIMARY

    SELECT PARTITION 1

    ACTIVE

    FORMAT FS=NTFS QUICK

    ASSIGN

    EXIT

    EXIT

    I believe that the disk may have a problem, so it should be recognized and listed in diskpart.

    Have you checked to see if the disk is listed in the BIOS?

    You wanted to know if it was recognized?

    It doesn't show up at all I don't think it was recognized

    But I will plug it in and try to run the command to see if it works

    I listed the disks and it was only my hard drive I use and my PNY 32GB Usb

    So I don't think it recognized it Can you figure out how to get it to recognize it?
