Windows shows my hard drive as "drive 0" and I am unable to use it

[Lennart van de Merwe]

So I've built a new PC and I've installed windows 10 pro on it. The drive in question is a WD blue 2 TB drive, it is recognized by windows (it shows up in task manager),  but has the name drive 0 and I'm unable to put my files on it or even acces the drive. The rest of the PC specs are:

I7 8700
Asus ROG strix B360-F
Bequiet dark rock
4x4 corsair vegeances DDR4 ram (2133 mHz)
Asus ROG strix gtx 1080 8gb
Samsung 960 evo 500 gb (boot drive for windows 10 pro)
Evga B3 650 watt

 

Can someone tell me how to get this drive to work in windows?

It sounds like the drive is working correctly exept that it doesn't know what it has to do. Changing the "letter" of the drive might be a sollution.

Probably the shitest ram you could've chosen with a high end system.

The budget didn't allow me to get something better
