    Computer not showing second hard drive

    I recently built a new computer and have a crucial solid state drive and a 2 tb hard drive. I was trying to download some movies today and got a message my hard drive is full. My motherboard came with a program called intel rapid storage technology and says my 2 tb hard drive is installed, but when i open the start menu and go to computer and it shows local disk (c) 65gb of 119 gb and asr_ram (E) 15mb free of 509 mb and that is it. What am i doing wrong or need to change to use the 2 tb hard drive. thanks for any help...

    You need to go into DISK MANAGEMENT, format it and assign it a drive letter.

    Press the start menu, right click "Computer" and select "Manage".
    Go to Disk Manager, select the 2TB drive and format it.

    You do not want your 2TB drive to be primary. Your SSD should be primary, and all programs ought to be installed on it.
