Solved New Install..Can't access HHD's?

[simmo]

Hi guys
I just did a fresh install of win 7 onto a OCZ Vertex SSD...I have'nt used a raid setup and I have 2 WD Velocoraptors as well as the SSD.
The SSD is my boot drive and I want to install my Steam Folders/WoW Folders/etc onto the Velocoraptors..The SSD is 60gb so no way can I install my games onto that as WoW is a 30gb install by itself.
I can't drag and drop the files from the external drive (WD passport) onto the velocoraptors and I can't send/copy to them either. Windows has all drives listed so it detects them and they are detected in the Bios so
How do I assign drive letters to the velocoraptors and secondly how do I go about copying my games folders to them?
Cheers

Enter Disk management - type in Start Search box if needed.

If these are new HD's it may ask you to initialize them.

Then rightclick on drive to Create and format NTFS partitions, assign letter: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/2674-partition-volume-create-new.html

If already partitioned, rightclick on each partition to assign a drive letter.

It's not asking me to do anything..device manager shows them listed but the only options i get is to disable or uninstall them or populate etc...

Maybe I screwed the install..didnt go into advanced options and do anything re drives when I did the install..just whacked it onto the SSD...buggered if I know lol

You want Disk Management, not Device Manager.

Type Disk management into Start Search box. Re-read the steps I gave above.

Please post back a screenshot of your full maximized Disk Mgmt drive map with listings so we can look it over to make sure the installation's configuration is correct, and answer any further questions.. Use Snipping Tool in Start menu, attach file with paper clip in Reply Box.
