Hello guys,
As the title mentions, I cannot access my Second Hard drive. I know that a second hard drive exists because on "Intel Rapid Storage Technology" it says that my Volume0 is split into two drives of 500GB. Drive one, which I'm using now, is almost out of space, so I had wanted to access Drive two. However, I cannot. This is how the two individual drives look like in Intel:
Drive One: http://gyazo.com/3e96eda1a3b5bb8ecc5a929d3d967218
Drive Two:http://gyazo.com/2f5e7a6d5cf71c3296a6082733115d43
Overall: http://gyazo.com/5253d67cb07b6c931220734022a7a8a8
I have tried Computer management from Computer -> Manage -> Storage -> Computer Management. It simply just doesn't show up in that screen.
This is what it looks like: http://gyazo.com/616620a823373435f7bd1b87b49dcb9e.
I suspect its because one drive is the recovery drive and the other is the master, but I see no reason to completely use up 500GB just for recovery. As Computer management showed that there already exists a recovery section of 14.65GB in the Drive One.
So I know that two drives exist, but I have no way of accessing it through Computer Management, so the next obvious step is to access BIOS and try from there. I have tried tampering with the BIOS and changing the settings to activate / show the Second drive, but nothing happens.
I'm out of ideas, perhaps I didn't correctly activate it through the BIOS but I'm clueless on this topic. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
