Forum Storage : General Discussion Second drive not showing

Hi

I built a new machine late last night and built it with a 64gb ssd. today im trying to install a storage drive but the drive isnt showing. I can see it in the bios but its not in boot order selection screen and doesn't show when windows starts (it does show as working properly in device manager though). Its probably something simple but what do i need to do as I've not used 2 internal disks before?

Thanks

In windows, go into disk management. If you can see the drive there, right-click it and select initialize. Once it properly initialized and formatted, it will show up in windows properly.
