I have an Acer Aspire 5 A515-43-R19L. I replaced the nvme and added a 1tb Seagate hdd at the same time. I booted up the computer with a USB boot drive with windows 10 on it and when it asked where to install the OS it showed the option of the 1tb hdd and the nvme ssd. I installed on the ssd but now the computer doesn't show there being any other storage drives. I know it knows there's an hdd since it showed that option when installing the OS. How do I get the computer to recognize the hdd?

    Hi LagunitasJunki,

    Did you check in BIOS.

    I
    When bootup, hold down the Fn key, keep tapping the F2 key after power up until you see the BIOS page. There may be different tabs, on one page it should list the NVME SSD.

    Also, before exiting BIOS, hit F9 (load optimize defaults) , and F10 ( save and exit).
