By not recognized I mean that it's not showing up in file explorer or Disk Management. Samsung's own software recognizes it and so does the UEFI. How do I get the Windows programs to recognize it and then assign it a letter so it shows up in explorer?

Appreciate any help, thanks

EDIT: I managed to use diskpart commands to clean the drive so it initialization would pop up on disk management but now I'm stuck because nothing seemed to happen after.

It shows up on the bottom as disk 2 but not up top. I don't know how to progress further so I can assign it a letter

is it showing up in device manager?

@colourful_hippie: Question, have you ever installed a hard drive before?

Does it show up in the bios?

@werupenstein: Yes.

@hmoney001:If you read the OP then you will see that yes it does (UEFI not BIOS)

If its not formatting could be lemon drive.

Guys, I'm a fucking idiot. Just realized you could right click on the unallocated slot to initiate the volume creation and letter assignment. Shut it down folks @mike
