Windows 10: Drive not visible , new install Win 10

I have just installed Win 10 on an SSD that is divided in half, on a machine with 2 other OS installed on separate drives. The 2nd half of the drive ' Storage' is not visible in the new OS install, but can be seen in the other OS when booted.I have copied files to the storage drive etc using the other Win installs.Win 10 working well, no issues, all updates complete etc.I've searched a lot to find a simialr and more recent issue, but no help. Tried a few registry checks, like ' show all drives' etc everything as it should be.Any thoughts would be appreciated !Thanks for reading.AlbieEdition Wi
