    Hi everyone. I reformated my 240Gb SSD. I was running Windows 10 Professional 64bit but I reverted back to Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit. Whilst Device Manager shows the 2TB I have, it's not there in Windows Explorer. Did I forget a tweak in the BIOS? I have an Asrock Z97M Pro4 Socket 1150 Motherboard. The DATA Drive is not there in the boot options. It only shows the Optical Drive and the SSD. Thanks for any assistance.

    Do you see this drive in the BIOS?

    Did you go into Disk Management and see if it shows there? If it does, did you right click it and select online?

    Sorted it out by drilling down in the BIOS. Thank you both for your help.
