Well just as the subject line reads I'm having an issue with my 1 TB HHD drive on an acetylene predator 17x. The laptop has both a 512 GB Ssd which is working, and has windows installed on it, and a 1 TB HHD drive. Well I went to go save files to the HHD and all I saw was my "C" drive which was the SSD. In manager, my HHD drive does show up and it will populate and says it has the appropriate memory. I'm nkt what to do. I tried to remove the drive, reinstall it and all the drivers and software and I can't seem to get it into my devices and hardrives!!

So - you have 2x 250GB drives and 1TB drive there.

Just use Disk Management, right-click on unallocated space (black color) and choose create volume.
Remember - on SSD it's recommended to leave ~10% space unallocated. It helps to maintain performance and life expectancy of the drive.

BTW - you can get screenshot by pressing PrintScreen button on keyboard and pasting into any photo editor.

The pictures included the manager image, the internals, and the device page where its not showing up.

Ops sorry! The first two pictures are of the new disk manager shots. The drive is showing up,as drive 2 after drives 0 and 1. It's like it's there but not there.

It worked! Thank you for the advice I now have both of the drives to save to! Thanks for the screen shot tip also as you can tell I'm new to the forum.
