My Laptop is not detecting a Hard Drive already there? Please Help?
So recently my laptop Dell Latitude E6530 started to give me problems. I knew it would happened because Hard Drive did not have a lot of space. However I did what usually everyone would, scan the Laptop using Dell Software for issues. What I came to see is that there is a hard drive in my laptop that has 289GB space! My C: drive had 78GB.
Now what I need to know why can't I see that Hard Drive? Or why can't my laptop detect or use it? Below are the screen shots.
This is the one, I'm talking about. Every where I looked for my Dell laptop specs, I found Hard drive with this much space but I thought maybe Mine just had a smaller Hard Drive:
Now this is my C: Drive
Am I missing something? I'm really confused. Please help me understand this!

Open the disc manager (control panel - admin tools - computer management - disc management). You should see the free space on the drive, in which you can create a new partition.
Did you install Windows or did it come pre-installed from Dell?

When I went there it didn't show me anything
It was pre-installed.

Oh my bad It did show up and I can see the space, it's 219GB. If you don't mind can you tell how I can make it active and usable, please?
