Only one of my disks appear after installing Windows 10

[magalenyo]

Hello,

I've just bought my new custom PC, and installed Windows 10 on it, it asked me where to install Windows (1TB HDD or 120GB SSD), and I chose the SSD. Once it installed Windows I realized it only appears the SSD as a disk, and not the HDD.

These are my components:
Intel Core i5-7600 3.5GHz BOX
Kingston SSDNow UV400 120GB SATA3
Toshiba DT01ACA100 1TB 7200rpm
Kingston ValueRAM DDR4 2133 PC4-17000 8GB CL15
Gigabyte GA-B250M-D3H
Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1060 G1 Gaming 6GB GDDR5

Since this is my first time building my own PC, I don't really know what happens, or if I'm missing any drivers.


------------------------------------------------

Okay, thank you all guys, I've checked my BIOS and there was no problem there. I just had to create a partition on the Toshiba Disk, thank you so much!!

Love <3

Thanks!!

Youneed to go into the bios and check manualy

If your regular hard drives show up in BIOS, you might have to go in to Windows 'Disk Management' and see if they are in there. If they are, you might just need to assign a drive letter to the drive that's missing. Just right click on drive and choose assign drive letter.

Where are you looking ?

Have you opened disk manager, created partition(s) and formatted the HD ?

===========================================

1. Prepare for Windows installation with USB tool

2. Connect boot drive data cable to lowest numbered SATA port .... but don't connect:
-Ethernet cable
-SATA Data Cable for any other drives

3. Install Windows to boot drive

4. Turn off Windows ability to install Hardware drivers

5. Install all hardware drivers from original media in boxes See Item 7 below

6. Connect ethernet cable and run Windows Update till it stops doing anything

7. Install latest drivers for ALL hardware from manufacturers web sites. The reason we didn't do this in step 5 is 3 fold:
-Sometimes MoBo CD comes with licensed utilities with product key embedded and these are not on web site versions
-Its advisable to establish a working out of box conditions
-Sometimes newer drivers require latest Windows Updates

If you have a 2nd drive ....

8. Shut down and connect HD data cable to 2nd lowest numbered SATA port.

9. Boot to BIOS and make sure that SSD is the 1st boot device, if not fix it

10. Boot to Windows

11. Open Disk Manager, find the HD, create partitions and format

press windows key + r

write diskmgmt.msc

it will show you the hard disks and the partitions they have

create a partition on the toshiba hard disk, then format it as ntfs

if the hard disk is not visible there, well, ask the person who assembled it, if they conencted the toshiba hard disk, basically warranty

Please show us a screencap of your Disk Management window.

The HDD probably just needs to be Initialized, etc.

Although, I would like to ask you guys why can't I install programs on the new disk, even though it appears and already formatted it as NTFS

 

[atljsf]

but, can you see it on the file explorer?

once created partition and formated, it should be just there

ready if you need it to put steam games, installs, whatever you want, can you see it there?

Try downloading a file to it ... copy a file to it ... do you see it in Windows explorer ?

What program are you installing ? Does it allow you to change the default location ?
