Answer:

Device manager

Step-by-step explanation:

The device manager is simply an Operating system feature whose main function is to enable one view and be able to also change all the devices attached or connected to the computer.

When the hard disk controller is not recognised or seen, first thing to do is to view if you will see it on the device manager.
