Got my new computer. I installed Windows 8 on the SSD. For some reason my 1tb seagate hard drive with all my media does not show on my computer but I can see it in the BIOS as well as device manager. Any ideas what I have to do to get access to it.

I5 4670k cpu
MSI GD65 z87 mobo
Samsung 250 EVO SSD
16 gb G-skill x ram

Go to drive management, and assign it a letter.
If that isn't a option, give us a screenshot of drive management.

Problem solved, I went back to Windows 7.

What a absolute nightmare Windows 8 was, nothing but problems.
