Basically at first my Asus uefi bios (Asus m5a97 eco r2.0) only noticed my ssd and not my hdd on the boot priority but still showed the WD drive as connected.

I loaded Windows and changed the HDD from unallocated to simple volume (only option), Now the hdd works perfectly on windows but on the uefi boot priority list my ssd and hdd show up as a combined drive, so my boot priority only shows my optical drive and then my ssd and hdd as one large combined drive. Is this normal or should I should be seeing my SSD and my seperate 1tb HDD, and not a 1.1tb drive.

if your running windows xp there a bios fix 1708 that fixes a drive read issues in the bios. in the bios make sure the ati sata ports are set to achi mode not raid or ide. make sure nothing plugged into the red thrid party sata chipset.
