Hey guys, sorry for the noob question but I forgot...

 

I installed an SSD as a secondary drive in my computer but it doesn't show up with the other drives where I could navigate the files.

 

I do see it in devices manager.

 

In short, I forgot how to format it, quick answers please :)

right click on my computer and go to manage.

 

then click on disk management.

 

(if new drive) right click mark as active, select MBT partition, then format with NTFS.
