3TB western digital not showing up in bios / computer management

Hi,
First of all, here a few specs for your needs :
CPU : intel i7 3770k
ram : 8GB kingston
OS : Windows 8 @ 64 bits
motherboard : MSI Z68A GD65 G3
GPU : SLI MSI 670 PE
Here is the problem : I cannot see my 3TB drive at all in computer management (windows) nor when booting in the bios.
I first thought it was because i plugged the drive in a marvell sata port, so i moved it to my sata 2 port (which is provisioned by the z68 chip). Nothing happened.
I updated my bios to the latest available for my board. Nothing changed.
I changed 2 times the sata cable. They were all sata III cables.
I changed the sata power cable for another one coming from a different rail on my power supply. Didn't help.
I am now clueless as what to do next. Maybe i'm doing something really dumb and not seeing it. If so, feel free to post face palms.
Does anyone here have a clue?
Thanks in advance,
Z99

Ah, the old nomenclature problem shows it's ugly head. Confusion with port and device naming. Port 2, which is SATA III is 'SATA2'. See why I asked about the jumper? So yes, if you want to test in SATA II ports, then the jumper is most likely going to be required. This should be covered in the WD users guide, although I don't think it will make a diffeence. I don't honestly know how to set up a HDD to GPT because my biggest drives are 2TB. Somebody should be along eventually that knows how to do that.

    My bad?
    You're original response was questions/post  about an iMac. Now you've edited it to ask about a Mac Pro?
    You can more easily add internal drives in a Mac Pro.
    Not too terribly easy to add/replace drives in an iMac.
    If younhave questions about a Mac Pro, try posting in the Mac Pro forums.
    Much more knowledgeable users there.

  • Record drive/partition "500G Ext HD Western Digital" not found!

    I don't know why I'm getting this message when I open any songs I've recorded in Logic Express. It just started doing this today. Here is the message:{Record drive/partition “500G Ext HD Western Digital” not found!}
    I do not get this message when I open and work on songs I've recorded in Garageband.
    The 500G Ext HD is my external hard drive.
    Does anyone know what this means and how I can resolve it and get back to recording music??

    Does the disk appear OK on your desktop?
    When exactly do you get this message? When you double-click on a Logic file on your external drive? Or when you start a new project? Is your record path set properly in Logic?
    First, as you may be nearing a hard disk problem, make sure that all essential files are backed up properly.
    Then, open up your Disk Utility and run 'Verify Disk' and 'Repair permissions' on your external drive. If you have a copy of Disk warrior, even better.

    I have signed out then back into the cloud.  I have comfirmed location of the photostream folder.  I have have even restored settings on my phone.  any ideas on what I can do to get it working again?  or do I have to accept defect, and manually save my photos?

  • I have a new Mac and mail is showing thousands of incoming mails that do not show up on the computer.  does anyone know what is going on?

    I purchased a Mac OS x 10.9 in December. When using Mac Mail i get thousands of incoming mails that do not show up on my computer.  Does anyone have any idea what is going on?  this sure never happened on my old mac. i have three email accounts.  gmail, verizon and hotmail.

    I posted the same question a day ago with no response. I'm using an Acer x193w. You actually don't have to switch monitors to get it to work. Just make sure you turn off the monitor after shutting down the Mac mini (actually push the power button on the monitor, not just let it go to sleep). If you turn on the monitor (push the power button on the monitor), then power up the Mac mini, the monitor is recognized. The issue didnt exist with Snow Leopard for me. It only started after I started using Lion. Hope this issue gets fixed In a future OS update.

  • HT1384 My ipod nano 3rd generation, when connected by usb, does not show up in itunes, does not show up on my computer, does not seem to charge by the wall charger. It just has a black screen. Any ideas for me?

    My ipod nano 3rd generation, when connected by usb, does not show up in itunes, does not show up on my computer, does not seem to charge by the wall charger. It just has a black screen. Any ideas for me?
    I've run diagnostics. Can't find device. I've tried resetting. The toggle has been turned on and off.

    Cable works fine on my other iPod. Reset by pressing menu and center button together for 6-10 seconds. Left it to charge for many hours. Started acting up while running. Suddenly the music stopped playing but my Nike + was still working for the rest of my run. Took it straight it home and plugged it in to the wall to recharge since the battery was fairly low. Looked like it recharged ok but then screen went blank and now does it not show up on iTunes, does not seem to recharge by the wall charger (apple wall charger plugged into a surge protector in India). I have turned the hold switch off and on many times.
    Sounds like a repair issue, which is not easy to do in India :(

  • IPod Touch is not showing up in My Computer

    I realize that there are several other topics that talk about this problem, but so far none have really helped me. My goal is to have my iPod Touch be recognized as a camera so I can upload all my photos from my Saved Photos to my computer and finally clear up some much needed space on it. Please don't refer me to software that will allow me to move photos from my iTouch to my PC because either they are all only trial versions or they don't allow me to access the images from my Saved Photos album.
    Currently my iPod Touch does not show up in My Computer. I'm running Windows XP. Checking my Device Manager for the driver, the only driver that comes up that relates to my iPod is called Apple Mobile Device USB Driver. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling that driver (and one I was able to get the iPod to show up in My Computer as a camera but when I clicked on it, it said that there were no pictures in the device [and I clearly do], and after uninstalling the driver again and reinstalling it the icon went away). I've read that maybe uninstalling iTunes and then reinstalling it might fix my problem, but I'm weary to uninstall it for fear that I might loose all my applications that I've synced into iTunes as well as my purchases and all the movies and things I've downloaded.
    If anyone has any comments, suggestions, or further questions about my problem, PLEASE say so because this is very urgent and I need all the help I can get.

    Also, I forgot to add that my iTouch is a 1st Gen I believe (I'm sorry, I got it for a Christmas gift, but I'm pretty sure it's a 1st Gen).

    Hey khdewey,
    Thanks for the question. I understand you are experiencing issues with your iPod touch being recognized in iTunes on your Mac. The following resource may provide a solution:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1591
    Note: This article is for Mac OS X users. If you're using a Windows PC, please refer to these troubleshooting suggestions.
    Follow these steps to resolve your issue:
    1. Ensure that your Mac meets the minimum system requirements for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
    2. Install software updates on your Mac.
    Note: If an iTunes update is available, apply the update.
    3. Check USB connections. iOS devices require USB 2.0 to function properly. If you're not sure your Mac has USB 2.0 ports, refer to the computer's specifications.
    4. Disconnect other USB devices and connect your device directly to a USB port on your Mac.
    5. Restart your Mac.
    Additional Information
    In rare circumstances, your device may be recognized after reinstalling iTunes, but after you restart your Mac, the device may not be recognized again. If this happens and you're using Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard, please follow these steps.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.
