I agree, If it's not in the bios then it's not installed right or wrong\bad hardware?
I remember needing a disk for my old WD-HDs (mostly to format but http://support.wdc.com/downloads.aspx?lang=en)
...you should be able to substitute a live Linux, load Linux and see if you can format with the partitioner?
Best wishes and have fun.

new WD disks are factory formatted to Microsoft's NTFS -- for your convenience
and WD external drives have Microsoft tools preinstalled for you on a windows ntfs partition
are these desks from DELL computers formatted to NTFS or
ext3 ,ext4 or a LVM
and are they using GPT or not
