Hi,

My desktop's HDD is not being recognized. It is recognized in the BIOS, but not on the computer when I go into settings -> storage. It just shows my 128GB SSD.

Does it appear in Disk Management? Probably.
You just have to Initialize it, format, and give it a drive letter.

Open Disk Management
Right click on that drive.
Initialize, and follow the prompts.

Ok, so how would I change that so it does not do that? As well, I'm using Windows 10 jsyk.

Is this a new condition?
What was the last thing you did before this happened?

This is a brand new computer. Both of them show up in the BIOS. I am using the SSD as my boot drive and I was intending to use the HDD for all other things.
