Windows 7 does not recognize SATA HD

System: Windows 7 Pro 32 bit in Dell XPS 8900 with AHCI drive setup and Legacy **bleep** (UEFI off) in the BIOS

Trying to get Windows 7 to recognize my WD Black 2TB internal hard drive I use for data.

I did a clean install of Windows 7 on second SATA drive.

The WD Black drive DOES show up in the BIOS plus on a dual partition with Windows 10 it shows up fine.

But for some reason in Windows 7 the WD DH does not show up in the Disk Management utility (in the Computer Management).

Tried to find drivers without success.

 

Any suggestions? Help appreciated
