I have recently built my first ever computer. And I need help with one thing. My WDC WD10EZEX 60WN4A0 1TB HDD wont show up in disk management. It shows up in BIOS (asus z170k btw) and in device manager. It is set up the same inside my computer as my SSD which is the only storage that I'm currently using, but it still wont show up in disk management. I have tried installing drivers for the HDD but it just says i have the newest drivers, so I guess that isn't a problem. I read an article posted here about different steps to solve this (http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/265764-32-guide-installed-disk-system?_ga=2.93445533.1615804416.1497371912-1088084823.1497371912) and I'm currently on step ten but i can't figure what my controller chip is, hence i can't install the drivers as recommended. I just want to be able to download more games and programs to my newly built pc, I'm desperate, please help. I can post more specs to my computer if it will be needed.

Thank you in advance
 
Solution
Hmm, open a command prompt window. Start > Search/Run> "cmd.exe"
Type "diskpart" and hit enter
in the Disk Part window, type "List Disk" and screenshot and share that.
