I bought a computer few months ago. Recently I realized that my HDD drive is a bit small. That is why I bought new SATA hard drive yesterday. When I plug it in my computer, everything worked fine. However, new HDD disappeared after reset. It seems that I just installed HDD and lost it right away. How could that happened?

Open your computer and, check did you well connect all the needed cables (signal and power). If you do, then try to reconnect your new drive to another S-ATA connector on your mobo. If that fails, check does your mobo supports your type of S-ATA hard. Your hard drive may be S-ATA 2 and your mobo may support only S-ATA 1 drives. If that is the problem, then the only thing you could do is to replace your S-ATA 2 drive for some S-ATA 1 drive. Do not forget to check in your BIOS is your mobo S-ATA support enabled. At last, also check in your manual do your motherboard needs some drivers to be installed. If nothing of this helps, then I am almost certain that your new S-ATA drive is damaged.
