How do i install two drives?

[Totally-A-Hero]

IS there any special process i have to do besides plugging in my WD 1tb? I already have a pny 120gb SSD installed.

Nope.

Nope, just turn off your PC before installation.

[Rorgash]

if it wont show up in your "computer" it probably needs a drive letter.

If it's a non initialized drive, you will need to assign it a drive letter in disk management and initialize it.

For this, go to the start menu, right click computer, click manage.

Now click disk manager under storage on the left side.

The new one should have a black bar rather than blue at the top and it should say unallocated. Right click>New simple volume and  then follow the wizard thing

Actually not necessary but do it anyway.

Only if you have enabled SATA hot-swap.

Just look at all the drives in Windows Explorer. Or via the task manager (Ctrl+Shift+Esc) if you have Windows 8 (I think the tab is called "Usage" or something).
