i just got my new pc, it was coustom built at the store "frys electronocs". It is very fast, witha gtx 970 . the problem is that we loaded the system from a 256 gb ssd, and the hard drive wont even apear in the storige section! so to sumarize, all of my games are bieng saved onto a small ssd and not a hard drive which is pluged in but the computer wont read it.

what is wrong?
 
Solution
Is the drive recognized by your BIOS?

Can Disk Management see the drive?

Is it partitioned and formatted (do you have data on the drive previously)?
so in the BIOS it says that sata 1,2, and 3 are bieng used, 1 is with driver manegment (it looked like) 2 is with an ssd,
and 3 is with something, not shure what
