Unable to use my hard drive. *Solved*

[josh22920killer]

So recently I finished building my first computer (yay)! Bad thing is my computer needs storage and my ssd just filled up. I was going to start to store things in my HDD but its not popping up under devices and drives (like it doesn't exist) but, when I went to computer management > storage > disk management it lists it as available with a ton of space. Also it lists it in my computer bios. Please help me for I am an admitted noobie to this issue.

Right click it and format it to NTFs

1. Right click on the unallocated space.

2. New simple volume

3. do what it tells you to do.

 

hope this helps

yeah the drive isn't formatted right away. click New Simple Volume, then just keep clicking next until it says formatting.
