As title suggests, I have an SSD for OS and my 1TB HDD which arrived the other day is now for games and other programs i dont want on SSD.

Except, when trying to install .. steam for example, it says it cant because a file is missing (like if i was using program files/user/ etc..

Then trying to install a game from disc, same problem. it says it cannot find a certain file, please make sure i have it.

Which i do, on my SSD... how do i set up my HDD to be able to work? :\

This is quite an easy problem to solve all what you need to do is this , go to the control panel and click on administrative tools and then on Computer management then on the left hand side there should be a storage tab . Click on it and you'll find the SSD and the HDD , right click on the HDD and you'll see a bunch of options , Click New simple volume and then a bunch of next next next options and your new HDD is online

Note : MBR is fine for drives of 2TB or less.
