So, I built a new computer today with and SSD and an HDD. Turned it on, installed windows. When I installed windows, it gave me the option to install to the SSD or the HDD, obviously I installed windows on the SSD. The problem is, when I get to my desktop, and I go to file explorer, and click computer, only the SSD is showing up, not my hard drive. Can someone please help me, thanks in advance,

Did you partition and format the HDD to NTFS?

thanks, I forgot to do this, I should also mention this is the second time I built a computer, and the first time, I kinda sorta helped when someone else did most of it.
