Secondary HDD boot issues

The other day I was using defraggler and noticed my Hard Drive was displaying a Warning next to health, I'm planning on replacing the drive soon anyways, but recently my boots into windows have been slow. My hard drive is my secondary drive, I have a 256 Samsung SSD as my boot drive, another 256 Samsung SSD as my Steam Library and my HDD has all my older games and documents, movies, projects, etc on it. So no system files at all on my HDD. 

 

Today i booted into windows, installed an update and restarted and I was stuck in my bios screen, i restarted again and no luck. So i took out my HDD assuming it was the issue and sure enough, I booted to Windows. So I reinstalled my HDD and its showing in my bios with no issues, but I cant load into windows with it. I disabled it in my bios and again it boots to windows but i'd like to be able to use my drive if possible, even if its only for a bit to copy my files to a new HDD. Is there anyway around this issue
