my 1tb hard drive is full so im trying to add in a 650gb drive from my old pc.

it doesn't show up in the explorer and in disk management all options are greyed out.

i think its something to do with them both being the same drive letter but i dont have a clue how to fix it. please help
 
The 650GB are not recognized at all, there is a 650MB partition which is from the 1TB hard drive.

Is the added HDD detected in BIOS?

Did you connect the power and data cable to the added HDD?

Which motherboard are you using? Is secure boot enabled in BIOS?

ah ok. its not showing in bois either. im on a gigabyte ga-z87 dph3 motherboard. cant find secure boot option so far though.

ive reconnected the wires and switched them with my other drive so its not that.
