Windows 8 new drive

[Jskn]

I forgot how to get windows to recognize a new drive and it only recognizes my ssd but my hdd probably has not been formatted and windows cant read it.  Anyone know how to format it?

Could you try shutting down your PC and go into the BIOS and look for your drive? This'll help pinpoint the root of the problem.
