I have just finished my new pc build:

CPU - AMD Ryzen 3700X
Mobo - Asus Tuf Gaming X570 Plus WiFi
Graphics - Asus GeForce RTX 2070 Super ROG Strix Gaming
PSU - EVGA Supernova 750 Gold
SSD - Samsung 970 EVO 1 TB M.2-2280 NVME SSD
GSkill Ripjaws V Series 32 GB (2x16) DDR4 3200
Storage - Western Digital Black Series 2 TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
Storage - Seagate 1 TB Internal HDD (old, I'm not sure if it works or not)
Case - Lian Li Lancool II

I have just finished assembling my new build. At first, I could post to BiOS, but only my Windows installer flash drive would show up as bootable, even though all my other drives were listed on the front page of the BiOS. That issue was solved when I went into the boot menu and changed to Legacy for the SSD. However, the two HDD drives that I included in my new system do not show up in Windows Explorer, even though they are listed in the BIOS, and I can't seem to figure out how to fix it. Any help in getting Windows to recognize my HDD's would be much appreciated. I don't know if this is a setting in BiOS I am overlooking, or a problem with Windows 10. Thanks.

Been a long time since I have used Disk Management, so I overlooked the fact that I had to go in there and make the HDD's "simple drives". Problem solved.

Thanks for your help.
