So i installed a new ssd wd 2tb sn850x on my asus x670e-e board it has 4 slots for ssd my main samsung 980 drive with the os system is in slot 1 i have an older intel in slot 2, and the new one is in slot 3 so under my computer local disk c shows up (samsung) and drive d shows up (intel) but not the new drive, i went into the bios and under data storage it list all 3 then next to it were u can swap drives it only shows the 2. what am i doing wrong?
 
sorry guys that i did not know to check there i am not too good with computers but yes i opened disk mang. and a little window comes up it says you must initialize a disk before logical disk mang. can access it.
then, disk 1 is checked and under that it says use the following partition style for the selected disk
mbr
gpt
so my goal is with this new 2 tb drive is to copy my main 1tb drive on to this one cause i am running out of spaces on my main drive so which dtyle should i pick ? thanks!!!
 
format it however it defaults and then just move stuff off the 1tb. it will be easier that way. unless you know how to clone a drive...

it defaluts to gpt and i would like to get clone it cause it has my os on there, is there an easy way to clone ?
 
i clicked on gpt hit next that box went away but still does not show under my computer is there something else i must do? it shows in disk mang. as disk 1 basic 1863.00gb, then in the big box it says 1863.00 unallocated.
i did restart after i clicked on gpt and hit next, incase u need to know disk 0 is my main and disk 2 in my intel the back up.. thanks
 
i think i did it i right clicked on something it said make simple and i didnt see the rest i gave it a name and a letter e.. is there a program to clone it or i can do it under windows?
 
quick ? i have it all set up to go in aomei but right before i click start a window pops up and warns u that all the data will be wiped out from my original drive, but i did not want that i wanted to use that drive in another system, is it possible not to loose all the data ?
or another way or program so this does not happen?

You want to use the original drive, with Windows OS and all the programs, etc. still intact, in another system?
While you can clone a system ("C") drive, it's only useful in the exact same computer. Because of the way Windows works, you can't clone a system drive and insert it in a new computer with different hardware components.

he just wants to reuse the drive in a different system BUT transplanting the os will work fine with 10/11. a few reboots and its gtg.

make sure you select the 1tb as the source and the 2tb as the target and then read the warning closer.
