Help with disk management

Go to solution Solved by kachel94,

Right click on the black unallocated part of "Disk 1" and select "new simple volume" follow the wizard any you should be good!

Hello, I was wondering if someone could help me with my disk management. Right now I have a 500gb ssd with my os on it and a 2tb hdd for storage. The hdd doesn't show up in in the device list with my C drive but it does in disk management. What can I do to get the hdd working properly?

 

Thanks

as pelark said, you have no drive letters assigned since you havent formated any of the partitions, try assigning a drive letter first to the preexisting ones if you have any data there presumably, then if it's not important, delete the unnessecary partitions.
