I install an m.2 SSD samsung evo plus 1tb to my pc for additional storage. However, once I installed it and booted up my pc, my 2tb HDD stopped showing up. It was initially in the Disk 1 space but it got replaced by the ssd. I checked the cables and all to see if there was a faulty connection. I couldn't find any and there shouldn't be as this PC was built a week ago. I'm not sure if its something in the bios or anything. How can I fix this?

 

This is my pc btw https://www.pccasegear.com/products/50403/pccg-ryzen-5700-xt-gaming-system (yes it's a pre built. But its a decent one sooooooooo :))

 

Thanks, all help is really appreciated!

The link doesn't work (at least not for me).

What @thewill102 said is usually the case. Try the HDD in another SATA port (preferably not the one right 'on top' of the current SATA port it is in, but try a SATA port in one of the other pairs of SATA ports.

It is a foolish question but ill ask u anyways have u allocated the drives after booting into windows.(i.e.disk partitions).

Thanking you,

Yours faithfully,
