I recently switched the main disk in my new PC with the C: drive from my old one. The SSD is around 2TB, it's plugged in and initialized, but I can't access it through file explorer. My other storage options are limited—I'm relying on an unreliable external drive and an HDD that's almost full. If anyone has any suggestions or questions that could help me figure this out, I'd really appreciate it!

What format did you use to set up the SSD? Sometimes the file system can cause access issues.
Thanks for the help, everyone! It turned out I just needed to add a drive letter in Disk Management, lol. My bad! By 'initialized,' I mean that the bar in Disk Management was blue, indicating it was ready.
When you say it's 'initialized,' can you clarify what that means? Here are a couple of things to try:
- First, make sure the SSD is properly connected; it may seem basic, but it's easy to overlook.
- Next, check Disk Management to see if the drive is visible there. If the file system format is bad, you might need to format it (though be careful to ensure there’s no important data on it).
Also, consider using tools like CrystalDiskInfo for diagnostics if you run into issues.
You might just need to assign a drive letter to the SSD in Disk Management. That’s a common fix!
Can you share a screenshot of Disk Management? That could help us understand what's going on better.
