Hello,

I recently built a new PC with a 1TB HDD and a 120GB SSD. I installed my OS (Windows 7) into my SSD. Here are my specs:

Intel Core i5 4670k
MSI GTX770 Twin Frozr
Gigabyte Z87-HD3
GSkill Sniper 8GB (2x4)
WD Caviar Blue 1TB
Sandisk Extreme 120GB
Cooler Master HAF912 PLUS
Cooler Master X6

Now, when I download a file or install a game, it automatically downloads/installs it to the SSD. When I go to "My Computer", I can only see my SSD, but not my HDD. What do you think is the reason? Please help! Thanks in advance.

By default, it will download/install to whatever drive the OS is on. Typically C. In this case, the SSD.

Open Disk Management. Can you see the 1TB drive?
If so, Right click on it. What options do you see in the context menu?
