How is this possible? What do you mean, it's not recognised in your computer?

Re: sata recognition problems

Make sure it has a drive letter. Go into Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Computer Management and choose Disk Management from the left pane. Right-click the drive, pick "Change Drive Letter" and start fiddling.
