HDD not showing up

Go to solution Solved by Elven,

Heya,

 

You need to format the drive, first. right click on computer and go to manage, then click on disk management. the hard drive should appear in the list. You will need to set it as a "new simple volume" by right clicking on the hard drive and select new simple volume. When the process has finished, it should then be recognised and appear on "my computer"  ^_^

Hey guys, my PC is finally finished now and everything works fine...

 

Except of my 2TB Seagate Barracuda HDD. Going into the UEFI BIOS or the Device Manager it shows up and it says, that it's fully functional, BUT when i look into Computer it only shows my Samsung 840 Pro 128GB SSD.

 

Now, since I don't want to fill up my SSD entirely just yet, I decided to see if someone here can help me,  ;)

 

I'd would really, really help me out if someone could explain how to solve this problem.

Go to start and type in Format. Click on "create and format hard disk partitions." You should find it there.
