Okay. So Before I posted this, I alreadt looked online and every possible place to find the answer. 

I can’t see or find my HDD. Although it’s in Bios and device manager, it’s not in disk management. I did some digging and for some reason my HDD is inside my SSD?? Is that even possible?? I went to disk management and SSD properties, under hardware I can see my WD 2TB HDD.  I can also see it in the bios. Im fucking confused... please help me2F384BEE-F6A9-4656-9D6E-931D594B3343.thumb.jpeg.318e95e9a5fa53e56e35a3cc838b3896.jpeg

Nothing in here is important. I just want to set it up as two separate drivess. But i cant see it under disk management, then i can’t do anything. :(

You could reinstall windows but first make sure you check what it's booting from in a menu in the BIOS I think.

So I wAs able to fix it by simply dowbloading WD lifeguard and erasing that HDD. And then it appeared as a new HD under disk management.. it basically formatted it. Lol.
