does not recognize the new device,
check to see if the device is listed
within Computer Setup. If it is listed,
the probable cause is a driver
problem. If it is not listed, the
probable cause is a hardware
problem.
If this is a newly installed drive, run
the Computer Setup utility and try
adding a POST delay under
Advanced > Power-On.
Run the Computer Setup utility and
ensure the device's SATA port is
enabled in Storage > Storage
