Just bought an ASUS laptop - inside it has C: Samsung 500gb SSD drive, like normal, but also a second SSD as an internal storage drive. OS is Win7 Pro.

It should show as D: drive ... and the CD as E: drive
I can find the second SSD in Device manager, but no D: drive icon

The D: drive on the menu shows it as the CD/DVD - internal

Can anyone explain how to make the storage SSD drive a D: drive (or an E: drive?) and let me access it.

Please, step x step as if one says "just activate it", I would have already done it if I knew how.

I've been trying to get the place I bought it to respond, but it keeps resisting the question ... and pushing a run-around, sorta.

I would be very careful what you do here. I have seen laptops that use the SSD to host the OS for performance reasons. If that were the case, you could easily brick your laptop.

I have a Dell 7559 laptop that has a 128 GB SSD C: drive for the operating system and a 1 TB HDD D; drive for data, photos, etc. If you've ever had computer with two hard drives this is exactly the same configuration. There's nothing unusual about how it is setup. From Windows Setup you can control what sorts of files get stored on the D: drive. I could put program files on D: but there's no reason to do so at this time.

There's no reason to worry about "bricking" this computer any more so than any other one.
