I want to replace my optical drive with a second hard drive Ideally to add a SSD and make it my boot drive. I threw in an old hard drive to see if this was a viable option, but it is not showing up in my computer.
It is listed under disk drives in the Device Manager and the driver downloaded and installed.
What else to I have to do to make it work?
Thanks in advance.

After looking up how to access disk management I was able to reformat the drive and get it up and running successfully. Thanks for the tip Emerald!
