Harddrive not showing up in My Computer

[cjghanoo1]

Hey, recently built my own PC, and started it up today with some success

Only issue I am finding is that when i open up the My PC area of windows explorer there is no harddrive there. the only thing that appears is the SSd that I put in and the DVD player that I added.

I have opened up the disc manager and found that the Hard Drive is online and has almost a terabyte of unallocated space. When i right click it the only options i get are convert to dynamic disc, convert to mbr disc, properties and help.

I don't think that my SSD can handle too too much as it is only around 260 GB so if anyone can help me figure out how to get stuff onto the regular hard drive that would be awesome.

Thanks

You problably going to need something as powerful as Acronis Disk Director, or anything similar from EaseUS, AOMEI, MiniTool, etc. This tool needs to prepare this 2nd hard-drive so that Windows will recognize and use said hard-drive. I do not know what keystrokes you are going to have to do, yolu might get best results having a local computer guru walk you through it, then afterwards, you can do the steps in the future.
