Product: Pavilion 570-p023w
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hi, I replaced the mother board with the one like the original board. I reinstalled the hardwares  

including the SSD that is the boot drive. I had to replace the 1TB HDD.

After doing this the computer boot up great. When I go to file exployer, I see the SSD (C:) drive but not the HDD I installed.

How can I get this computer to recognize the HDD?

Have you allocated the drive so the system can recognize and access the drive?  This video should help. You need to go to ControlPanel/AdministrativeTools/ComputerManagement/DiskManagement. Then create a new volume and format the volume per the video.
