So, I recently installed a second hard drive, got it all hooked up inside the case,etc. How do I actually make it so I can save stuff onto it Windows?(As in, it doesn't show up)

Any help/advice appreciated

Yea so what you need to do once you connect a new Hard drive is format it.
To do this...

Right click on My Computer > Manage > Disk Management >click on your new HD and format it to whatever format you want...

NTFS if you will be using it with Windows ONLY.

Hope this helps.

Alright found that...both hard drives are there

Can you give some more detail as to what I do?

The second one reads NTFS Healthy (System, Active, Primary Partition)

There should be a section on the second hard drive that says "Unallocated Space" or something like that. Right click, and click New Simple Volume. Allocate all the space and perform a quick format. There you go. Windows should be able to see it now.

I am having this exact problem. However when I right click it the only option is "properties" and "help"...the other choices are grayed out.

*Got it...missed a step. Thanks!
