I built my computer not 2 hours ago and I am trying to find my hard drive in explorer but I can't. I see my SSD there marked :C but I can't find the hard drive. It shows up in device manager so I know that the computer knows it's there but I can't save anything to it and I can't do anything with it because it's not showing up in disk manager.

Hi there DubstepHippo,

In many cases, a drive being recognized by Device Manager but not Disk Management, could be related to drivers.
My suggestion would be to go to your MOBO's website and update the drivers.

Apart from that, as D Jay Cva suggested, you can attach the drive with different cables to another SATA port.

Cheers,
