right clock on the black bar and click new simple volume. or use storage spaces for raid.

installed 4 storage devices today but they aren't visible in explorer... so i hit up device manager and they are detected after this i checked bios... also detected... now why can't i access these?

Do a windows search for "partition" and an option to "create and format hard disk partitions" should come up. Open that and see if you can see the drives. You may need to format the drives initially before windows can see them.

Type in diskmgmt.msc in your start menu. Format the drives and give them a drive letter.

Hello star_weaver,

 

There is a secondary menu in some motherboards that you also need to check, I don't mean the boot sequence (eventhough it is important), I mean another menu that exists in some boards where you can see that the drive is connected but it can also be set to enabled or disabled, on or off. I am going to paste some images for you to have an idea what I mean, again is not the boot sequence, there should be another option to enable/disable hard drive in your MOBO and of course if it is disabled it won't show up in your system:
