Windows 11 does not see new WD Blue 4TB HDD in Disk Management. I have confirmed all of my cables are good with other 1TB drive. Am I missing something?
There are a few things you can try to troubleshoot this issue:
- Make sure the drive is properly connected to the computer. Check that the cables are fully inserted into both the drive and the computer, and try a different cable if you have one available.
- Restart your computer. This can sometimes help to reset the system and recognize the new drive.
- Check the BIOS/UEFI settings to see if the drive is being recognized there. To do this, you’ll need to restart your computer and press the appropriate key to enter the BIOS/UEFI settings. Once you’re in the BIOS/UEFI, look for a section called “Boot Order” or something similar, and make sure that the drive is listed there.
- If the drive is not being recognized in the BIOS/UEFI either, it’s possible that the drive is defective or that there is a problem with the motherboard. In this case, you may need to get in touch with Western Digital or a computer repair shop for further assistance.
What he needs if the option 4 is real is the drivers, and its no were to be found to be downloaded on a external support in every page of WD.
