I just put together my new computer and am using two hard drives for the first time. I have the OS installed and woking on the SSD, but I can't get the regular hard drive to be recognized in windows. I checked my cables and everything seems to be connected properly. Can anyone help me with something more advanced to make this work, thanks.

Before you do that make sure the SATA port the drive is connected to isn't turned off in the BIOS. How you get to the BIOS will be described in your motherboards instructions. It's usually one of the function keys.
Things will automatically try to go to C but you can choose to install elsewhere, even Steam allows you to set alternative drive locations now. Just set up a file structure and you'll soon get in the habit of installing things where you want them instead of letting it default to program files.
Here's mine for example
You can also include Pictures, Documents etc folders from your storage drive into the default ones on C so the contents show up when you click the default shortcuts for them when they are really on D, F etc.
