Many buyers have reported that the hard drive is not working, unrecognizable, or so-called incompatible. In fact, after installing a new hard drive, it is necessary to enter the computer's disk management, create a new partition for the new hard drive, and then the computer can recognize the newly added hard drive! The specific operation process is as follows: Install the hard drive on the computer (or install it in the hard drive box and connect the hard drive box to the computer) → Right click on "Computer" on the computer screen → Select "Management" → Select "Disk Management" → Find the newly installed hard drive → Right click and select "New Simple Volume" → Then follow the prompts to click "Next" → Finally, click "Finish". In this way, the newly installed hard drive completes the partitioning of the hard drive and will be recognized by the computer! The following is the demonstration video I shot, please refer to it, thank you!
