i have been able to access my second HDD for awhile now until i decided to download an update and utilties for my mobo, one of them being the intel rapid storage tech (which i suspect is the problem), only issue is with or without the intel rapid storage i cannot gain access to my second HDD now. its detected on the bios screen and on boot device options but not in explorer.

any ideas?

Yes, go into "Disk Management" (right click on start icon in Win10, and select disk management)

scroll down the list until you see the one thats not mounted, and .... 

right click and mount it ... i think... dont really remember the commands.  -->   follow your nose.  Just be careful you dont format it... that would lose all data.

right click on (E:) and you should be able to "Extend" the volume using the 698.63GB of unallocated.

no idea what that means

Is there any data that you need from the HDD? Take it off now if there is.

Let me know when you're ready. I only have about ten minutes until my wife and I go to sleep.

Right click on the bit where is says 450MB (in the image you posted).   there should be a "Delete Volume..." option.  - On DISK 1... .Not Disk 0

 

Once that is done right clock on the 230GB part, and it should now show "Extend Volume..." as an option

Win + R

"diskpart" Enter (assume enter from now on)

"list disk"

"select disk #" #= the drive you need

"clean" or "clean all" You may need "clean all override"

Set it as a simple volume rather than dynamic.

 

Use the steps I gave you. Let me know how either of these go as I'll be back in the morning.
