I installed a SSD and a HDD, my motherboard detects both, but when I go to my pc, I only see the SSD and not the HDD.

Any solutions for this problem?

Hello... It could be a OS security thing... Windows has "Security" and you have to give permission to the OS as "administrator" to use/install additional Devices.

1) Right click Computer-Manage-storage-Disk Management.
2) Right click the graphics below for the NEW drive... (*complete partitioning and formatting for the drive if needed)...
3) And "Mark Partition as Active"

* If the Drive already has DATA on it.... Just mark the "Partition active" So you don't lose any of it B )
