HD on Windows 7 config but not reading..

    I recently built a PC Z77 Pro 3 with a 120G SSD and 2TB HD. Have been coming and going to it as I get the time but had to leave the 2TB until last as I had to order a SATA cable. Didn't mind as I was able to get the OS on the SSD and main software programs etc.

    I now have the cable and the setup is as follows;
    SATA_0 SSD
    SATA_1 2TB HD
    SATA_2 DVD RW

    In the Bios I can see all three, in the control panel of the devices if I look at the properties of the SSD I can see the three items but looking at Windows itself all you see is the SSD and DVD.

    Any idea to get it sorted quickly.

    I remember years ago in the older PC's I would have had to be moving jumpers on the pins for masters and slaves...is that all gone now is this what is wrong and its on the motherboard...

    Control Panel\System and Security\Administrative Tools\Computer Managment\Storage

    Right click the the 2TB drive and format to NTFS

    few more bits and wizards after that but sorted now

    Thanks, Reading 1.81TB which I suppose is the best as you never get the full amount

    Right click the drive and click properties. And read the capacity in bytes.

    The drive manufacturers give the number using a different numbering system than Windows. It's a white lie, tbh.
