If the disk does not appear at all when you start FDISK then it's not
properly installed, despite the BIOS information.

If it appears in FDISK but with no partitions and/or no free space then it
has been partitioned in a way that FDISK doesn't recognise. For instance,
it might have been partitioned in a system where the physical-to-logical
drive mapping was different, such as LARGE instead of LBA.

The disk does not show up when I use FDISK. It does show up in the bios.
This
drive already has data on it formatted as "Fat". Any thoughts?

Did you fdisk/format it? Use the drive manufacturer's supplied disk?
