[SOLVED] Can't access 2nd Hard Drive

Solution
"New Simple Volume" would have been the selection.

But....for multiple reasons, redo this whole install.

Create a Win 10 flash drive install.

You'll need a blank 8GB USB stick


Then:

Preferably, you'd disconnect the HDD during this. Being a laptop...kind of a pain.
If you do or don't, DELETE ALL partitions on both drives during this install, and continue on.

It says New simple volume
Properties and Help

New spanned Volume and new stripped Volume are grayed out
Used.

Yes, that config is completely backwards.

Do you have any critical data in this system? Have you installed anything?

I strongly suggest a full wipe and reinstall, putting the OS on the SSD.
We can go into details if you wish.

Nothing important on laptop atm ( just a cad software and games). Yeah that would be helpful if u can help to put the OSon the SDD. I gained access to the 2nd hard drive BTW.
