Help, Windows is only recognizing my SSD!

Hardware Hub Storage
1

I recently built my first gaming pc, I have an OCZ 60gb ssd and a Western digital blue 500gb hard drive.

My problem is that when I go into file explorer and then go into the computer, it only has local Disk C (SSD) and there is no local disk D (Hard Drive).

Please let me know how i can get Windows (Windows 8) to recognise the hard drive.

Go to the file explorer, right click computer on the left and select "manage" it will have the administartor sheild symbol next to it. Then click storage, then disk management in the menu on the left side of the window. There will be a list of drives, find you missiing one and right click it, then press create new simple volume and complete the steps.

Id make sure the bios is detecting the HDD before messing in windows. Could be something simple like not plugged in or dirt on a connecter.
