I'm confused. So I bought a 2 TB drive and an SSD yesterday. I got Windows 7 installed on my SSD and I hooked up both my old 1 TB HDD and my new 2 TB HDD. But windows doesn't show my new 2 TB HDD. Only my SSD and 1 TB HDD. However the Intel Rapid Storage Technology program detects my 2 TB HDD. How do I fix this? Also I have no clue what the System reserved drive is there for. By last windows install didn't have that.

Am I doing this right?

use that to format the hard drive, then it should work. that's what I had to do for my hard drive when I got it

It's really only because of the invalid S9 inputs.

Do I convert to a dynamic disk or a GPT disk?

Right-click on the partition, not the disk;

There is no partition...

Assume that unallocated space is a partition and do the same thing

Right click on the unallocated space and select new Simple Volume to make a new partition

Thanks that did the trick. But now my external hard drive isn't working. Before I put in my new HDD it worked fine but now it doesn't show how much storage it has and it says I need to format it and I have important stuff on it. How do i get it to read my external HDD properly without formatting the damn thing?

What would be some guestimations of FPS of some games with an XFX R9 290, like Battlefield 3, Battlefield 4, GTA V, Payday 2, and other assorted games such as World of Warships, Kerbal Space Program, and other non-intensive games be.

To add to this, this would be the build. http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/p/7vZbf7

It's been modified since the last build you guys gave me a few months ago, how is it?
Anything that can be improved without major cost increase?
