HELP WINDOWS 7 CAN't DETECT MY HARD-DRIVE!

[Ultra441]

Hello world I've recently built my very first PC and i'm proud of it. With some help from my dad we completed it last night and it runs smoothly. The ASrock bios can detect my HDD and My SSD but when I go onto windows It only sees my SSD. http://pcpartpicker.com/user/Ultra441/saved/3gCx <- link to my parts. Thanks for spending your time to help fix my computer!

Have you looked in Disk Management? If this is a new HDD it needs initialised before you can access it.

- Open Start Menu
- Right-click on Computer
- Click Manage
- On the left hand side you should see Disk Management. It comes under the Storage header
- Once you open disk management Windows should ask if you want to initialise the Disk, press yes/ok.
- Down the bottom of the screen, right-click on your drive where it says Unallocated (should be black). Select new simple volume.

After that I can't remember exactly but basically press next a few times.

Disk Management should look something like this. In the image there are 4 hard drives connected.
