SSD working, HDD shows up in Devices but not on My Computer

[TruenoICE]

Hello everyone, I have finally finished my first build and I have come up a common issue apparently. As the title states, my HDD, a Seagate Barracuda 1TB, isn't showing up on My Computer, but it is on my Devices. I am starting to run a bit low on GB on my SSD, a Crucial MX100 128GB, and I will like to start putting files into the HDD rather than the SSD. What can I do to get it to start working? I appreciate those who comment and thank thee in advance.

Hi, Open Disk Management, right click the HDD, initialize and format it.

Was just about to say it's not showing up on Disk Management and I have rescanned for disks.

Try different SATA cable and different SATA port. If still no go, it might be a HDD issue.

Nevermind, found it there, it wouldn't load up on the rescan but I just had to scroll down to see it there and format it like you said. Appreciate the quick answer !!!

You don't have anything that shows up as RAW do you ?
