So guys I finally built my first dream pc and i have encountered a small problem.. my hard drive is not showing up anywhere except the bios.. I have a 120 gig SSD as bootdrive and i have windows 8.1 installed but the hard drive isn't showing up anywhere.. the 500gig harddrive has windows 7 in it and i want to formatt it, but except the bios it isn't showing up anyways even 3rd party partition managers. I tried to boot throught the hard drive but it prompted me into recovery mode and i was stuck in a endless restart loop. Any ideas?

Press windows +R, enter "diskmgmt.msc", and check if it appears. From there, you can format the drive by right-clicking it.

Thanks! Restarting the PC did seem to resolve the issue, even though it hadn't worked before.
