I JUST built a computer. It has a 120 GB SSD and a 1TB HDD. Both the storage devices showed up fine when installing Windows, however my 1TB hard drive is not showing up in This PC. However it does show up in device manager. After doing a bit of research, I came across another thread on Tom's Hardware with someone talking about a similar problem. http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-2901890/windows-initialize-ssd.html

The solution for this was to go into computer management and then disk management, and initialize the drive. So I right-clicked on disk 1, initialized it as GPT (as it said in that thread.) This did make the drive say "Online" but I still do not see it in file explorer. If someone could help that would be great. :D
