I just installed windows 8... i think i like it so far, just gonna take some time to get used to everything.

everything installed okay, i did a clean install. previously windows 7 was installed on my C drive, i decided to put windows 8 on what was my F drive before. i had C, D and F drives... im missing what used to be the C drive. its just not showing up.

anyone have any ideas on why windows isnt seeing it?

edit: actually now that ive looked at it more, the other half of the harddrive that has the OS partition on it is missing too...

edit2: AHA! i figured it out, they weren't formatted...

so now i have another question. I want to have my program files installed onto my 300gb harddrive since the partition that windows is on is kinda small... can i just move the program files folders from my C: drive to the other one? or would i just start installing stuff on the hard drive that i want it on?
