RE: I need to enable something in bios to set up and format a new hdd...

I don't have the answer for your question, but I do have the work-around I would use.

Another possible way is to install the drive on a different machine and, using its Disk Management tool, delete the existing partition, create a new one and re-format the drive.

I have no idea why (and it seems rather to defy logic) but that has more than once enabled a "stripped-down" cMP2 system to recognise a drive that it did not recognise before.

Whatever, I've yet to succeed in getting the Disk Management tool to function in a cMP2 box even though its BIOS and its Device Manager both acknowledge the target.

(If others have, perhaps they'll explain how . . .)
