A75VW with Windows 8 can't see my second hard drive.

I brought home an A75 with Windows 8 last night and the first thing I did was put the hard drive from my other laptop in so I could get my save files, pictures, downloads, and everything else onto this new comp. Well I can't get the drive to show anywhere in windows.

I've spent the whole night and today googling and searching and I've found that its a problem with Win8 and not the computer. What I can't seem to find is the drivers that everyone points to to fix the problem.
It is something to do with drivers that handle the hard drives not being included with Windows 8 but I can't seem to find the right drivers for this laptop.

This video is a good example of exactly my problem but I can't find the drivers he is referring to.

Please help me cuz I'd hate t have to start over on all my games and downloads!

Ok nevermind people, crisis averted. It seems that Microsoft has taken care of the issue themselves because after another restart and some system updates from MS my drives are all showing up and working fine.

Thanks.
