You need to go into Disc Management (Right click on the start menu and go up to it) and from there on the bottom you will see it outlined in black. Right click on it and tell it to create new simple volume. Follow the steps and you will be rocking in 3 or 4 minutes.

My main drive is a 256GB Intel 600p M.2 SSD.  It is working perfectly.  My HDD, however, is not.  I can't access it through File Explorer, which means that I can't download anything to it.  It is a 1TB WD Caviar Blue.  I just built this system on the 17th, and the HDD was there even when I was installing Windows.   I followed the advice given here (https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_10-hardware/windows-10-does-not-recognize-my-second-hard-drive/11f1cf28-0320-4a5e-aabb-e66e13a7526b?auth=1) to no avail.  Thank you anyone who responds for your help and kindness.

 

P.S. The HDD is being detected in device manager, and when I click on it, it says that it is working properly.

 

P.S.S.  My full system specs are in my signature.
