    Just did a clean windows install on my 32GB SSD and now my 1TB HD is not showing up in my computer. Is there a specific thing I have to do for it to be accessed? I installed all the drivers I found on another post so I don't think it's that. But I guess it could be.

    Any help?

    Mind if I ask what you did? I just installed the stock 1TB drive into the ODD slot and I can only see a small 12.7gb partition of it.

    alright I figured out my problem as well. I had to remove one of the OEM Partitions from the HDD. There were two OEM partitions on my drive but, I left what I thought was the recovery partition intact. I followed this guide: How to delete OEM Partition | Jared Heinrichs

    Everything is working as it should now! :D
