Can't see my HDD

TubbyGreg · 7 Oct 2015 at 19:21

So, I've installed windows onto my SSD, but I can't see my HDD in file explorer (windows 7)

Can you open it up in RUN?

TubbyGreg · 7 Oct 2015 at 19:27

Uhh
How would I go about doing that?

Begbie · 7 Oct 2015 at 19:31

Start > Run > C:\

Click start > Run > diskmgmt.msc
should see it in there.
Post screenshot if you have further issues.

C is my SSD, I'm looking for my mass storage SSD.

Not there in diskmgmt.msc

Disk 1 is unallocated, create volume and it'll show in file explorer

Ahh, I had to assign it a simple volume, thanks for showing me to diskmgmt.msc. I have a tip for you! you can use the windows keys + r to get to run quickly.

yeah, depending on OS, i do a lot of RDC sessions so keyboard shortcuts don't always work haha!
no worries for disk Management. Best place to play with HDDs.
