Hello all, I have a quick question. I recently built my PC and my SSD is showing up with everything installed and all but now I am looking for my 1 TB WD Caviar Blue and it is not showing up as a place to dump some files. Do I have to format it or anything? I checked the cabling and all is plugged in seemingly fine. If someone could help me out this would be great. I am not sure why it is not showing up in device manager.
Thank you for all of your help!
Danny

Load Disk Management - check to see if partitions are made on the drive and that the drive is formatted and accessible.

Is that a program within Windows?

From Control Panel, search "disk management" - Under administrative tools - "Create and format disk partitions". Disk management will show up.
