i just finish building my first pc and i found out one of my drive is not showing up but the bios and task manager all shows that i have 2 drive. is there something i need to do to use the drive?

Open disk management on windows and create a partition on the drive. Whenever a disk is showing up in one way but not in windows explorer under the "My Computer" area, it means there's a disk but no usable partition on the disk, which can be easily fixed in disk management.
