Hard drive loss?

I don't understand. The SSD has the OS on it. The HDD is my secondary drive.

The 700GB partition of your second drive, showing as 683.59gb in disk management needs to be assigned a drive letter by right clicking on the blue bar of the partition select "change drive letter and paths" click on the Add button in the next menu to select a drive letter.
Click ok to assign selected drive letter or choose your own letter (one that isn't being used)from the drop down menu.Normally this lets windows recognise it and it will appear in "computer"
If your still getting the error you mentioned then I would try what I already suggested.
You could also try extending the volume if it gives you that option without getting the error,right click on the bar and delete,then right click on the new volume (D) bar,"extend" and make it the one volume,if that works you could try partitioning the drive yourself.

I did what you said, setting it as logical. I then put it back to primary. I tried changing the path name etc.

Despite these three things I still cannot see it in my computer

You need to assign a drive letter to the partition like I described before it will appear in "computer".

Yup, I did that too.

Yup, I did that too.

I would try a clean install,delete all partitions when doing so or phone tech support.

Its really strange.If the disc is damage than your computer will not see it at all.Sorry but in my opinion after Vanthus and mine advices You doing somthing wrong

Jack Turner of tech support sorted it out for me.

He tried that change path thing that I was doing and it did not work. I was too afraid to delete everything and format in case I then lost the first partition. He just deleted it and they were both unallocated - then he partitioned them over again.

Strange issue, but it is fixed now. Vanthus already gave me that advice but I didn't want to fiddle around with it and possibly make it worse.

Thanks guys and thanks Tech support.
