How can I get Win8 to recognize my secondary HD? It is a WD Green 500GB SATA drive. My bios reads it, but Win8 does not.

Thanks in advance.

It might not been formatted, does not have a partition defined or the format is wrong. Use EasUS Partition Master or such to check it and make a formatted partition/s on it.
