Once I get in to the Disk Management, my second HDD is showing black (unallocated). I right click on the drive but I don't get the New Simple Volume option that then brings up the wizard. My only options are convert to dynamic disk or convert to GPT disk. How do I add this second HDD? My primary Cdrive is a 512gb SSD. Thx for your help...Jerry.

If you can see your HDD in Disk Management, then format it. http://windows.microsoft.com/en-au/windows/install-remo...

I read through your link and its for Windows 7. I have a feeling that its now different in Windows 8.1, which is what I am running.

Is it over 2.1 GB?? If it is you may have to use GPT.. And have a system that supports UEFI.
