Hello world!
Its strange that after format to win8, i cant access my 2nd hdd.
Even thought i can find the hdd on device manager and even on disk management.
The problem is that hdd on disk management has no drive letter path and when i right click to it the only options available is ''help'' and ''delete volume''
any ideas on it????
here an image of situation

It hasn't been formatted yet is one problem. I don't know for sure but isn't there a limit of 4 primary HDD's in windows? Firstly take out your USB stick this might free up a "primary" partition that you can then format and assign a drive letter.

If not then maybe you can cheat the system by starting an OS installation and cancelling it after formatting the new drive from the boot disk....
