I built a new sff pc. I have a 512 gb nvme ssd. I had a old 1.5 tb drive from a laptop. Samsung Spinpoint M9T 1.5TB ST1500LM006. When I connect it via hdd box with usb3, all is ok. I can see the drive. Shows up in file explorer, device management and disk management. But when I connect it inside the case, it doesn't show up in bios, device or disk management, diskpart, windows installation screen. Different disks works and I can see them in windows so I know motherboard and cables isn't faulty.
Things I've tried and failed:
- Deleted partitions.
- Created partitions.
- Formatted.
- Unformatted.
- Different sata and power cables many times.
- Different sata ports.
- Cleaned the disk with diskpart.
- Sata settings in bios.
- Changed it to mbr and gpt.
My system:
- MSI B450I Gaming Plus AC
- Amd Ryzen 3600
- Palit 1660ti
- Adata SX8200 512 GB
- Corsair SF450
This is the weirdest problem I've came across in my 20 years of computer journey. There is not a single problem I couldn't solve or go around with the help of google and forums like this but this one, I couldn't tackle.
