I just built a new computer. Basic stats: Intel i5 3570K, Asus Sabertooth Z77 mobo, I am using Windows 8. I have an Intel 330 series 120BG SSD that I installed first and put Windows 8 on that. I then plugged in my WD 1TB Caviar Black hard drive, model WD1002FAEX.
When I go to computer in windows 8, I only see my SSD. When I enter my BIOS, I see boot order of CD/DVD and then the SSD. The HDD is not listed. However, when I click on boot menu in BIOS, it shows my HDD. What did I do wrong or need to do to fix?!?!
Thanks so much for this simple advice I finally got my new drive to appear, thank you thank you haha. I have spent a long time digging through my BIOS and swapping SATA 2 and 3 cables and different SATA ports on my Motherboard for I dont even know how long now. I am glad I found this forum and your post.
