so I just installed windows 8 on my ssd drive on my new pc but when I boot into the os its not detecting my 1tb hdd I also have installed, they both came up as an option when installing windows 8 and both show up in the bios, any idea what to too. 

 

any advice is welcome as its probably some retarded mistake ive made, thanks in advance :)
