Cant access the entirely of my HDD.

I have a 500gb HDD coupled with a SSD for my OS, but for some reason Only 60gb of my HDD is showing up as usable space. I'm not educated at all with the HDD's or SSD's to know what I did wrong, any help?

Intel Rapid Response Technology shows the full 466gb's but I'm only given 60gb's along with the 60gb's of my SSD.
 
right click my computer, click manage. go into disk management and see whats going on. there maybe a portion of your hdd as unallocated. ideally you'll want to merge that free space with your existing partition so it becomes one.

It sounds like you've got some kind of RAID setup.

Raid 0, whatever that means.

Intel Rapid Storage technology shows it as "Array_0000" with a 60gb drive and a 500gb drive, to the right theres a box that says "volume_0000" Type Raid 0, and 112gb

If it helps when I first booted the system It detected my HDD and SSD and I think asked if I wanted to make use of Intel Smart Response, and I hit yes...and I think this happened 😵

I think that’s what the issue is. In that situation each drive’s usable space will be equal to the smallest drive in the RAID configuration (i.e. the 60GB SSD).

You need to disable RAID and configure the drives to be JBOD (just a bunch of disks). You’ll probably lose access to everything on the drives so backup your data first, and be prepared to reinstall everything.
