What the..??

[Niall!]

Well, as people may know I ordered a refurbished PC off PC World. Well, the PC I ordered was supposed to come with 1TB HD. Instead, I found 500. I contacted PC world and asked them if they would send me the promised 1TB HD. They refused, saying there is 1TB space on this computer.

I noticed this morning that when booting my computer, an option of two HDs comes up for a few seconds. I don't understand this. How am I supposed to use this other HD? Do I have to switch between one and the other every time? And does that require me turning my computer off everytime I want to switch?

Set the secondary as a slave den all will be kwl

Start/Windows button > Right click Computer > Manage > Click on Disk Management on the left hand menu under the Storage tab. Say what you see/post a screenshot.

I would, actually I was planning to, but the second HD does not appear in My Computer.


Hang on a sec Nick didn't see your post.


Disk 0 has HP (C:) (my current HD) and my Factory _image things
then Disk 1 just has a blank named with Healthy (Primary Partition) under it's size

One step ahead of you :)

Right click on Disk 1 > Quick Format, once it's done it will show the other 500GB drive in your My Computer :p

Just did that. No change, does not appear in "My Computer"

Do I have to name it something special? I just named it spare.

Edit: I am an idiot. I forgot to assign it a drive letter. Anyway, all is done. Thanks :)
