Hi there ItsPuck,

So the SSD is your primary drive while the HDD should be your secondary right? It would be nice if you post a screenshot of Disk Management. Just upload the screenshot to an image hosting website and post the link.

Most probably, you are using only your SSD. As why_wolf suggested, you will need to Initialize -> Partition and format the drive.
