Title error... *HHD

Long story short, I used the HHD from my old build for my new one because it had a ton of my old documents, photos, music, etc. I also purchased a 250gb Samsung SSD as well as an EDGE 120gb SSD. I hooked up all 3 to my new MOBO and went about my merry way. After getting the OS on the SSD, I wanted to begin downloading my Steam games that I use the most for my 250gb SSD. It's not even visible when I check the "Devices and Drives" section. Apparently, all the Steam games went to the old HHD and the Samsung still has nothing on it even though I can find it through the BIOS and in the Device Manager.

Basically, I want to get all my steam games onto my Samsung SSD and make my current D drive (old HDD) my C drive so I can access all my old stuff with ease. The 120gb SSD should just be the OS.

Willing to pay for real help.

Ty.

Ok. First it's HDD which stands for hard drive.
2nd, the Edge SSD is slow as dirt.

I would do a fresh install of the OS on the Samsung 250GB SSD, use the HDD for a storage and games drive.

Hard Disk Drive*

Make sure the drive is formatted so that (I'm assuming) windows can read and write to it. If you are on windows 10, there is a program with a user interface that can do all this for you, search for "create and manage disk partitions". If you are on older versions of windows, I believe you have to do this from bios or OS install.

I've tried but still looking for a decent program that is also free. I am very sure that this is the issue. Just weird that the PC recognizes the hardware but I cannot access it.

It's a default windows program, should already be on your PC.
