If i have a sata cable connected to a hard drive to the motherboard

If you made sure you plugged both data and power cables to drive, make sure your install media is on USB2.0 port.

What motherboard do you have (brand, model or model number), mabey it requires a special driver. Also, are you able to try the hdd in another machine? And this is Windows 10 right?
