Help for a newbie problem :)

[JaLeRo]

I built my first PC yesterday, everything is working great except windows 7 doesn't recognize my 1tb hard disk. I have windows on a SSD so it does still run, I've checked device manager and it is on there but it doesn't show up in the computer folder and I cant use it.

Any ideas?

Check that the SATA data cable is pluged in correctly to the disk and the mobo and SATA power to the powersupply

I've actually just fixed it using disk management, turns out I just needed to give it a letter, thank you anyway
