Hard drives not recognized in Windows 11?

Hello everyone,

I built a PC for a friend, and he bought two 1TB hard drives (Crucial P3 Plus). During installation, I partitioned one of them to 250GB (C drive) and 750GB (D drive), but now Windows only recognizes the 250GB, but not the remaining 1.75TB (BIOS also recognizes both hard drives). The motherboard is an MSI B650 Gaming Plus WiFi. Can anyone help me?

Thank you in advance!

How to partition an SSD on the funny idea, which might even be broken… in the present time 250 GB is not enough in the approach. Then install all the necessary programs and two, three elaborate games on it and already the part is full.

This is still a relic from the old hard drive times, where you could get faster access to the areas…

Why they aren’t recognized now, maybe because you haven’t formatted them yet. Partitioning and formatting are two completely different things…

A good program that could help to undo the unnecessary partitioning possibly without data loss and formatting everything would be the free Minitool Partition Wizzard…

Why partition???? You have two of the things inside!!!!!! That’s enough. Partitions don’t make a logical sense today at SSDs
