It is unallocated, so it won't show up on Window's file system. Right click the "unallocated" bit and set the partition. 

 

EDIT: You should either have the option to set the drive/partition as active, or create a new simple volume. Doing either of those should make the drive show up in Windows explorer.

Yeah I did ask yesterday I'm sorry I was desperate. Okay I got it to show up. Now does this mean when I download something it will go to my Hard drive instead of my ssd? If not how to I make it do so?

No, it will go to your C drive most of the time. To change that, you will need to change the download settings for whatever programs you're downloading with. So, your web browser and Steam would be two common ones to change. It should be fairly easy to find within the program's settings.
