Right click on my computer and click on manage this will take you to the computer management program on Windows then click on storage and disk management if your 1tb HDD is shown there then you should make it online if it already isnt and then create a file path for it, it should show up in my computer after that

On my recent, and first, build, I set up Windows 8.1 on my Samsung 840 Evo 240GB. Now that I have started to download programs with a lesser priority, I find my self trying to download them onto my 1TB hard drive, however, it cannot be found. It appeared as an option to download the OS onto when I first set it up. Any suggestions?

Make sure its plugged into the native intel SATA 3 ports on your motherboard, not the 3rd party controller ones.
