New computer hard drive help

[Goallie11]

I built a new computer, first one, and the hard drive isn't recognized. It shows up in the bios and it shows in disk management but I can't access it at all. You can see what I mean in the attached pictures.

I took one of the hard drives with Windows on it out of my laptop and am using it in the desktop right now, I've read that isn't a good thing but until I can get the new hard drive recognized there's nothing else I can do.

I've also tried using ubuntu to see if it can regonize the hard drive but no luck there either. Any idea?

What are your options when you right click the Healthy Primary Partition? (The first one 9xx.xx GB)

[Goallie11]

None, but clicking any of the other hard drives has all the options selectable.diskman3.jpg

I would try deleting it and recreating it. Doesn't seem to have a filesystem established.

hold on...

Is this drive set as your primary? It is labeled as Disk0. Its been a while since I've built PCs, do they still have jumper pins on them to establish Primary Master, Primary Slave, Secondary Master, Secondary Slave, Autoselect?

I agree with nick try the delete volume option and see how that works out.

What kind or drive is it? Company/model?
What windows OS are you trying to load onto it?

sounds like its doa... plug it into another pc... if nothing... its probably a gonner.

For my servers I buy Hitachi's(3 tb+)... I buy Samsung and Crucial SSD's.

I checked for jumper pins and it doesn't have any on it, neither does my other hard drive.

It's a Seagate 1TB ST1000dm005, once I get it to recognize I'm gonna put the windows 8 RC on it, but right now I'm using Windows 7

I'd really hope it's not DOA, I'll plug it into my laptop and see if it works.

Now that I took the hard drives out to make sure the new one works, I turn the computer on and get "error: no such device: some serial number"

This is an Ubuntu thing but I have no idea what to do, searching for help to it hasn't worked so far.

This happened on both my laptop and desktop.

I've managed to bypass the problem by running Ubuntu from my flash drive. With only the flash drive and my new 1TB hard drive installed it does recognize it in ubuntu, so I'm downloading Windows 8 RC to hopefully install on the 1TB and then use my other drives as storage.
