I bought a new 3TB Seagate Desktop internal hard drive and wanted to add it to my hard drive that's already installed but my computer won't recognize it. Please help!

Jump to PostHow old is your computer? Is it the BIOS that doesn't recognized it, or the operating system (which one)
Jump to PostAs suggested by Ancient Dragon, the size may be a problem. Most older BIOS chips only handle up to 2TB devices. Have you looked for a suitable update from the system manufacturer for the BIOS?
