Hi,Was this from a Upgrade to Windows 8 or did you wipe out the old OS and do a full
installation? Are there any error messages?
Check the Compatibility Center to see if the drive is compatible :
Windows Compatibility Center
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/compatibility/win8/CompatCenter/Home?Language=en-US
Check with the System Maker's Support, their on-line documentation and driver/firmware,
and ask in their forums (if any) about any known issues. If the drive, or computer is not
Windows 8 compatible there is not anything you can do without hardware replacements.
