    I bought a WD 4 TB HDD to replace the 1TB HDD for storage in my desktop running Win 7. Using a Samsung SSD for the OS...

    Macrium recognizes the new one, even changed it from MBR to GPT.
    Disk Management recognizes it, but does not list.
    And Computer also does not find it.

    Thank you

    You obviously need to partition it.

    Just create a new volume from the disk manager
