HHD not showing up

mallratssss · 20 Jun 2012 at 14:14

So yeh my new titan monk system came. Expected to have to put the ssd in myself but it was already in. System boots in seconds, but for some reason i cant access my HHD.

Shows up on computer > right click > manage > storage > diskmanagement

as 465gb unallocated,

But if i click on my computer all it shows is the ssd drive and the dvd rw, no hhd. ANY IDEAS?

in disk management right click on the drive and format it.

This. It's because the HDD is unformatted. You need to format it as an NTFS drive for it to be used, the quick format option will do.

Just being an annoying knowitall git as usual, but i have to point out that an uformatted hdd can still show up in my computer, you mean unpartitioned.
