New HD, formatted, but no disks found

(1/2) > >>

geometer:
New HD, formatted, to be used to install Windows 7 Pro.

No disks, drives or partitions found.

How do I proceed?

Boggin:
It needs to be initialised.

I think this article should go some way in helping you with that but I'm not sure if you should be naming it New Volume.

As it's for Win 7 then perhaps you should chose MBR instead of GPT with it being an older version of Windows but when using a drive in excess of 2GB you would need to use GPT.

I didn't have any such problems when I replaced a HDD in one of my laptops but I used a system image to load everything back on rather than a clean install.

DskMgmt shows drive w/"no media."

EaseUs Master Partition Manager claiming to fix problem does not show problem drive!

Boggin:
How did you manage to format it ?
