Hi guys, i have just built my gaming pc, and have just installed windows 7, i installed windows 7 on my SSD instead of HDD, i unplugged the HDD when installing windows 7 to make sure it installed on the SSD. But now i have plugged my 1tb HDD back in and when i go into "computer folder" only my SSD is recognised, and the HDD isnt there, i have tried unplugging the HDD back in a few times but still nothing, i know its actually working because a little window comes up saying "1tb HDD is now active" but its not recognised in my computer thats all, can anyone help? I appreciate your time.

It is recognised in disk manager, by the way my SSD us named "C" in my computer. What do i do now i know its recognised in disk manager?

Go into Disk Management and right click on your HDD. Select "New Simple Volume" and this will open a new wizard which should be self explanatory. Let us know if you have any more questions though.
