Start > Right click on Computer > Manage > Storage > Disk Management > Right click on Unallocated on the bottom bit > new simple volume > follow the steps

Thank you

is it formatted properly ? can you try booting ubuntu or linux off a usb and seeing if you can gain access to the HDD and install from with in the live boot?

update or get a better Bios, you might be able to netboot/install.or live boot of a dvd and see if the HDD is even detectable and see if its formatted correctly.

pretty sure if Bios sees the HDD then the sata is connected as well as the power though my reading comprehension might be failing me as it does others.....
