Helios 300 - Can't download onto secondary hard drive? (SSD)

Jayjangle

The other day I installed a secondary SSD hard drive in Predator (Helios 300), and it seems that my computer recognizes it...but when I go to download a game onto it (specifically Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, via battle net app) I don't have an option to set it as the destination; by default the app tries to use my main hard drive (with insufficient space) and I am not sure how to proceed.

Help is always much appreciated. Thank you!

Did you partition the new drive? I assume you are using Windows 10, does the new drive show in 'This PC' ?

@Jayjangle as it was said above does your drive has a letter assigned to the partition if not assign it every time   you get a new drive you have to format it and assign a letter if not assigned automatically after formatting it you drive its probably still as unnallocated space check it on computer management/disk management

I haven't partitioned it but then again, I don't really know what that means. And yes I'm using Windows 10 and nothing under 'This PC".

I had no idea that this was something I would have to do, it makes sense though, sorta.

Sorry for the multipost everyone; not sure why this happened when I made the thread, but I think it's happened in the past.
