Cant find internal Hard Drive

[jtreed]

Hey guys built my pc yesterday and installed windows onto the SSD (120GB). Now when I go into my computer I cant find my 1TB WD Hard Drive at all. I can find the hard drive through computer management however not through disk management..

Anyone got any ideas? It's the only thing driving me crazy left of my build.

Hello... If your just adding another drive for storage, you must give permission to Windows to use it... Right click COMPUTER-MANAGE, Left click Disk Management and you can now Partition/format it/? , what ever you need to do first... But you must right click the graphics/data space, for the drive, at the bottom of the screen and mark it active.
Re- check where and how it is Powered to your MB/Computer.
Was it formated in SATA IDE or ACHI and your SSD is Formated Different than that now through your MB? When you installed Windows?
