I have just bought a new SSD (samsung 840 evo 120gb) which i'm planning on using as a system one while using my current one (samsung 830 64gb) as a cache storage for editing.
The problem is when I install windows (tried both 7 and 8.1) on the new SSD it sees all of my drives expect one (with all of my important data ofc), the current system on the old ssd sees everything.
In disk manager it recognizes the hdd, but it says the whole size of it is free, which is not the case.

What could I do to make it recognize that hdd too?
Reformating it is not an option.

my mb is a ga-p67x-ud3-b3


edit:

seems like the hdd is formated in some kind of hybrid way as it was reformated with macdrive, and i had to install macdrive to see the otherwise ntfs drive.
