The video provides a detailed troubleshooting guide for addressing the issue of a new hard drive not appearing in Disk Management. Initially, it emphasizes basic solutions such as restarting the computer and checking both the SATA and power cables. If these steps fail, accessing the BIOS settings to verify drive detection and possibly using different cables, hard disk, or SATA ports is recommended. Another solution involves using Device Manager to uninstall IDE ATA/ATAPI controller drivers, allowing for a fresh installation upon reboot. Additionally, the video explains more advanced steps like deleting the hard drive from Storage Spaces within the Control Panel and importing the foreign disk via Disk Management. These steps aim to resolve the visibility issue of the new hard drive in both Disk Management and File Explorer.

In this part of the video, the focus is on troubleshooting a new hard drive that is not showing up in Disk Management. Initially, viewers are advised to restart their computer to resolve common issues. Then, the video covers several troubleshooting steps:
1. **Check the SATA Cable**: Ensure the SATA cable connecting the hard drive to the motherboard is properly inserted. Try using a different SATA cable or check the power cable connected to the hard disk.
2. **Check the BIOS**: Access the BIOS by restarting the computer and pressing the setup key (e.g., F2, F4, F8, F10, F12, or the Del key). Check if the BIOS detects the hard drive. If not, try a different SATA cable, hard disk, or SATA port.
3. **Delete Other Channel Drivers**: If there’s a glitch in the other drivers, delete them to allow Windows to install fresh versions during the next startup. This involves using the Device Manager to uninstall all IDE ATA/ATAPI controller drivers and then restarting the computer.

In this part of the video, the speaker provides a step-by-step guide on how to resolve the issue of a new hard drive not showing up in Disk Management. Firstly, they suggest deleting the hard drive from Storage Spaces by going to the Control Panel, navigating to System and Security, and then to Storage Spaces to delete the hard drive from the storage pool. Secondly, they recommend importing the foreign disk from Disk Management. To do this, they instruct opening Disk Management via the Run dialog box, identifying any disk with an exclamation mark, and importing it as a foreign disk. Following these steps should make the new hard drive visible in both Disk Management and File Explorer.
