I'm in over my head and could use a little help. When I first attempted to install my new HD in place of the old one under windows 8 pro it simply recognized it in bios but would not show up to make a "new simple volume". After reformating the drive in windows (probably the big mistake) and restarting as asked the comp crashed. My pro disk was a looong way away and I was essentially forced into grabbing a home edition... uggh what a waste. Now with this edition bios won't even recognize the drive. I'm assuming its not DOA b/c the bios initially recognized it. Could anyone point me to some solid guidance on making this work because everything I've read on the net through advanced google search has just confused me more. I was under the possibly false impression that the 64 bit OS could use such a large drive.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
