You need to identify which drive is the ssd. Here is a screen print of what my output looks like: Now type the following command to select the drive. change the drive number to whatever the ssd is. You can tell by the size. (Change the 1 to whatever number) select disk 1 Next list the partitions on the drive list partitions You it might list only one, but it might list several. If it lists several then select the biggest one, it should be labeled "primary" (the other ones will be tiny system partitions). If you dont see any partitions then message me. select partition 1 now type the following command, this will automatically mount and the drive and assign a drive letter. assign If you want to assign it a specific drive letter do this command assign e This will assign it with the letter E This is what happens when I get to this point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For future reference, you can get to disk management by right clicking on "This PC" shortcut on most desktops and selecting management. Disk Management is an option on the left-hand side. It is just the graphical version of Diskpart. Two ways to do the same thing. But it is completely normal for a brand new (internal) disk to be uninitialized and unformatted. When you first installed Windows and selected the disk you wanted to use, that was all done automatically. Because it is a secondary disk, you have to manually do that the first time.
