Hello forum,

I am building my rig and am having issues installing my HDD. I have a SSD as the primary drive in AHCI. Per the instructions I only had the SSD installed when I installed Win 7 pro x64. I have now attached the HDD (Seagate 1TB) and I cant use it. I see it in my BIOS (as AHCI) and Device manager but cannot access it.

the usual case for this is that it is not partioned for use, right click "computer" and select manage - go to disk management select action in the menu - then all tasks and finally - format - that should fix your problem.
