New Samsung Hard Drive Can't be Detected
I just bought a 1 TB Samsung Hard Drive (SATA) but my pc can't detect it. My motherboard is Biostar. Everything plugged in correctly. Asked me to insert the bootable CD. After a while it automatically shutdown.
Can somebody tell me what's wrong and how can I fix this? Thanks! |

If the drive is not partitioned and formatted, and doesn't have an operating system installed on it, it's not going to be bootable.

I can't go into my bios neither. And why is that my pc will shut down automatically after a while? Can someone help?
Thanks! |

If the system works properly with your old hard drive, the new one is defective. Not surprising with Samsung drives.
