hey,
i just put a new hard drive into my computer because it has minimal memory. i plugged it all in with the help of my brother but when we started the computer and went to my computer it only shows the original “Local Disc (C:)” even though when we started it up it did a system check thing on it so i assumed it worked however it didnt.. what did i do wrong? im new to this.
Welcome to HWF 
Go to Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Computer Management > Disk Management. Right-click on the new disk and choose Initialize. Follow all steps and then you should see the new disk in My Computer.
ok i went to the place and right clicked it but there is no initiate so i clicked format because thats what my bro said to do and it had 7GBs used but it came up with a error message and said to restart the administrative console or computer..
alright i got it back but there wasnt a initialize thing so i click format because theres 7GBs used on it and it said there was an erroe and had to restart the administrative tools console or computer…
Could you please make a screenshot of Disk Management where it’s showing all hard drives? Just press the PrintScreen button and paste it inside MS Paint. Save it as a jpeg file and attach it to a reply here.
