All I see is you have ym(?) SSD with Windows installed and 'up and running', and you can't find your HDD.

Where did you last see it?

Sorry I'm typing fast. I put windows on my SSD and it worked. After I got windows up and running and wanted to install some games the only hard drive I could find was the SSD not my 1.5 TB HDD for everything but windowns. No option to install to it.

Does the BIOS show it?
Does Disk Management show it?

It's quite OK that there's no option to install it. Installing a disk is a hardware only operation. However, initialising and partitioning and formatting are software operations. That's what we use Disk Management for. That's why I asked my 2 questions above.

It is in the BIOS and says 1.5 TB and everything I just cant find it when I'm actually in windows and want to install something.

You forgot to answer my second question. That might contain the clue.

If necessary, read:
