Hard drive question.

Drew64 · December 2020

Picked up my kids gaming computer this week. It runs fine but I don’t see the second hard drive that is installed. We got a Samsung ssd drive to boot up computer and a sea gate 2 to hdd drive to run other programs off of. When I go into settings in windows to change where to save items the sea gate drive is not listed just the ssd drive. Yet in device manager a I see both drives and both say working. How do I get windows to recognize drive so I can change where programs and photos are saved.

You have to format and create a new partition, for windows to recognize it, before you can start using the HDD.

So why didn’t micro center do that. I paid them to build the co outer put windows on it and have it ready to go. They built the computer for me. How do you partition I ?
