I recently built my own desktop PC and installed windows 8.1. When I was setting up in the BIOS the system recognised both my 150gig SSD and my 2TB SATA drive. I installed windows 8.1 on the SSD. Now the computer is up and running windows 8.1 doesn't seem to recongise that there is a second hardrive. It's not a hardware or wiring problem as the system recongised it during the set up. Any advice on how to get windows 8.1 to recognise this drive?
In the device manager it recognises two drives. one is the SSD and the other is labed as this: WDC WD20EZRX - 00D8PBO. I'm not sure if this is my SATA or just another in built memory drive. Only the SSD is displayed in my computer.
I'm pretty sure this won't have had any effect on this issue but during the set up I created a partition on the SSD just in case in case of a complete disaster. Just thought this was worth a mention.
