 So I just built a pc. If it matters its a 6700k build on a z170 mobo. I put two drives on it, one a 500 gb 850 evo and one a 1tb WD blue. The problem is that my WD Blue cannot be detected by the system. I checked all the wiring to make sure that everything is connected to everything but still nothing. Can any of you guys help me please?

Disable AHCI and see if that works. On my laptop Win8.1 takes a shit in AHCI while Win7 works fine

right click on 'computer' and then click on manage there then will be a tab that says storage and then disk management (if disk management doesn't appear next to "storage" there should be a small triangle on the left side of the word 'storage' then click that ) then right click on the wd drive (where it has the size of the drive) and click on ' create new simple volume, a wizard will then appear and then just follow the process that it takes you through.
