Hello everyone, I'm facing a tricky issue. I have both a 120GB SSD and a 1TB HDD. I installed the program on the SSD, and it seems to work perfectly for me. However, when I start my computer, only the SSD appears as the available drive. In the Device Manager, the 1TB HDD is still listed. Also, during setup, the 1TB HDD was one of the options I selected. Could someone with expertise assist me? ^.^

Search for "create and format hard disk partitions" in the start menu. Launch Disk Management with the GPT method. Select the 1TB drive, which will display a long black bar labeled "unallocated." Create a new simple volume according to the prompts. The interface should now appear. Edit: This should address your issue; wording may differ slightly across operating systems.

Also verify in the BIOS whether your HDD appears there.

Hey team, thanks a lot for your support. I'm currently working on this. Once I'm back, I'll give it a try. I'm using a Windows setup. I didn't even know how to access the BIOS before. After restarting my PC and pressing F12 to enter the boot menu, I couldn't find any section showing the storage drive. I think the HDD should appear, but I'm not sure if my PC is reading it. When I check the driver for my HDD, it says "This device is working properly."
