Okay folks - I got a little bit of sleep, and am almost done with my build, and something weird started to happen.
I have a SATA SSD for my Windows install files and drivers, then a 1TB HDD for storage, and a DVD-RW Drive.
When I first looked in the UEFI BIOS, I noticed that the bios only saw the SSD and the DVD drive, but not the HDD. When I started to disconnect stuff and reattach cables, the bios then only recognized the SSD.
I booted into Windows and then the DVD drive was detected in Windows.
Still no HDD.
What am I missing? This is the last step I have to take here - do I need to reflash the BIOS or clear the CMOS?
P.S. - when I plug them both in at the same time, i can't see all 3 at the same time. Most I've seen is two (SSD and DVD) at the same time.
UPDATED: Apparently, I needed MORE sleep, LOL. I had to format the HD in Windows, and not worry about it in the BIOS as a boot device. All is well and working properly now.
