970 problems

[GymothyCharles]

Hey all.

Today, i went to the store and bought a gtx 970 twin frozr v edition.

When i got home, I went straight to installing it. I took out my old 9600gt without uninstalling the drivers, because i was in such a hurry to try my 970. I installed the 970, and started her up, and i got a screen saying error, there has been a hatdware/software change, please put in your win8.1 disk and go to fix my pc. I did this and selected advanced options, then hit automatically fix errors. I restarted the pc, and it worked, aside from the resolution being off a bit, which i fixed immediately. But all of the programs were either missing icons or not on my desktop. I went to "this pc" and checked, and sure enough, there was no 2tb hdd showing. My ssd worked fine, but the hdd, not so much. I went and undid the back panel, and found the sata power came out on the hdd, so i plugged it in, started my pc, and i still have the problem. I tried to partition it, put windows couldnt find the directory for the partition editor. I need help.

If you right click the Windows icon in the lower left corner and go into Disk Management; does it show your HDD?

1) This is exactly what I would try

 

2) is this an infiltration of LTT by Tek Syndicate? or am I late to the party noticing this?

alright, so, I reset my computer (via windows install), and I right clicked the windows button, chose disk management, and my hdd wasn't there, soooo... am I SOL?
