Just built a sexy new machine: i7-920 (not OC yet), ASUS P6T, GTX285, OCZ-Vertex 120GB SSD, WD Caviar 2TB HDD, Corsair 1000W PSU, Pioneer BD writer, and Pioneer DVD/CD writer, V1 Cooler, and a bunch of fans. Running 64-bit Vista.

Here's my issue: booting off the SSD to Vista works fine. The BIOS recognizes both the SSD and the HDD. Vista recognizes both of them as well, in the device manager, but only the SSD under My Computer. I'm stumped and need a fresh perspective on what the issue might be. Thanks for the help.

I would guess the HD does not have a file system yet...

Disk management -> format
