cannot get EliteDesk 800 G1 to detect second hard drive.

Matthew6 · ‎10-13-2022

Hello,

I have a HP Elitedesk 800 G1 that runs windows 10 64 bit, I have added a second hard drive, the issue is that when I check the bios it shows both hard drives and when I installed windows 10 the setup asked which hard drive, I wanted to use, when windows 10 finished installing open file explorer but only one hard drive is showing.

Can someone help me fix this issue.

Thanks

Matthew

Hi, Matthew:

The only suggestion I can offer would be to see if following Microsoft's guidance for initializing a disk is of help to you.
