Windows 10 not recognizing HDD

I have Windows 10 and Ubuntu 15.04 set up in dual boot. They are both running off of a 120GB SSD. I have mounted a 1TB Western Digital drive on Linux perfectly fine, however the same drive does not show up in Windows. It is not registered in disk management or the device manager.

 

EDIT:

 

Here is Windows: You can see my ssd and my other 2TB drive.

in Linux:

Here is my 1TB HDD, working perfectly fine in linux, mounted as an NTFS partition(not available in Windows)

EDIT 2:

I unplugged/ replugged it, reinstalled both OSs(for unrelated reasons), and it works now. Thanks to all that helped.

the drive is most prob using Linux file system

 

which Windows do not recognize 

 

 

you need to use NTFS in order to let Windows use the drive

Budget? Uses? Currency? Location? Operating System? Peripherals? Monitor? Use PCPartPicker wherever possible.

No, using NTFS. Also, it doesn't even show in the device manager/ disk management.

ok can you post screenshots?

 

kinda weird for it not to show up

 

 

you sure there is power to the drive?
