Not sure what I did, but the HDD now works. I somehow managed to get it initialized and can see it in Mount Manager with its full storage capacity and everything.
Thanks to everyone for their help.

Hitting it with the virtual hammer sometimes works -
Glad to see it's now working!

Well I thought this issue had been resolved, but I had to move my box and now I can't see the hard drive at all.
Been trying to reboot at least 10 times. In some instances I would see Storage in the setup menu, but in the majority of cases it's not there. Even when it is there I can't see the storage amount or initialize the hard drive.
Worryingly when I have been trying to reboot on some instances the box is stuck on the Gigablue splash screen and I have had to switch off from the mains.
I need to check the hard drive, but I am wondering if I should raise the issue with WoS, which is where I got my box from just under 2 weeks back in case the box is faulty.
I think you need to check the drive in a PC or in an external caddy to eliminate whether the disk or the GB box is faulty. Do you have any other disk you could install into the GB box?

As far as I can see there is no disk recognised - is it actually formatted? Attach it to your PC and see what windows or linux says.

I would presume when new disc was added it was formatted on box ,initialized and ext4 ready?

I replaced the SATA cables and the SATA Power cables (If that is what they called) and then switch to the old hard drive that occasionally used to show up and now everything appears to be running more smoothly and as expected. I've rebooted the box 6-7 times and every times once OpenViX is booted I can see "Storage" in the Setup menu. So it all looks good now, touch wood.
Hopefully I won't be adding to this thread in a few days time.
Thanks again everyone.

Sounds like you have an intermittent connection issue with either the SATA power or data cable. This may be because of a dodgy cable or the connection on the motherboard. If you keep the replacement cables you now have and try the 3.5" disk and it works also, then dispose of the old cables in a recycling facility. If the 2'5" disk has further intermittent problems, then the issue may be with the motherboard and you should flag the problem to W-O-S directly. @birdman is right in that the box should recognise any standard SATA disk, whether formatted or not and then give you the option to format/initialise it.
