Removed a 4tb that had never been used; it was placed in a server PC but won’t boot to other drives. Tried using CSM legacy or UEFI, but still unsuccessful. Inserted a Windows USB, but installation blocked. Performed a GPT to MBR conversion as instructed, yet encountered errors and can’t install further. Lost my job just before losing the only other possession I had. Please assist. Edit: I made sure to cut power to the PC before removing the drive in case of issues. Returned home after dropping it to discover it was damaged.

It seems you're trying to explain a situation where a new 4-terabyte hard drive didn't work on your computer. Let me make sure I understand correctly.

The installation tool checks all connected storage devices, including any additional drives you have connected.
