HDD disappears during formatting
I installed a new, second HDD. I initialized it and began formatting
it on Disk Management. When I just came back after being away from the computer for a few minutes, I noticed that the whole HDD, not to mention its formatting process, had completely disappeared from Disk Management! The HDD is still physically connected, it wasn't taken away by a fairy. What caused this and how to prevent it from happening?

Might be a bad hard drive, what make/model did you get?
