Second Hard Drive not showing up.

Strongbows · 20 Sep 2013 at 19:15

Hey I recently bought a
ocuk hardcore gamer P170sm `17.3 inch laptop. The primary hard drive is a Toshiba SSD HG5D Series THNSNH 7mm 60gb solid state hard drive
I also ordered a Seagate 500gb SSHD Solid State Hybrid Drive SATA 6gb/s. This all shows up on the invoice so I know its been bought. My problem is I'm out of space on the 60gb hard drive and my second one isn't showing up. Please someone give me some direction as to what to do. Thank you.

Right click on Computer. Click Manage. Click on Disk Management. The Drive should pop up and asked to be Initialized. If it doesn't scroll down the list of drives and right click on it to Initialize it. Once the drive is Initialized the OS should assign it a drive letter and it will show up in My Computer (or Computer as it is known as in Win 7)

Thanks for the reply. I'm running windows 8 and i followed those steps and all I'm getting is "Connecting to virtual disk service" when i click on disk management

The hard drive is showing up as unallocated what is the next step?
