D drive not showing

[Luckyprock]

Hey, I'm on this forum since I recently bought an SSD and installed an older build of Windows 10 on it (1709) and since then my hard drive (D drive) isn't showing up in file explorer or disk management, I was wondering if this is because it still has a bootable version of windows and if so if there is a way for me to fix it and use my d drive while still booting from my ssd

It should be showing up, does it show in BIOS?

Did you check the physical connections?

The drive is not showing up in BIOS and the connections seem to be good, the drive was working fine before I switched to my SSD

Was your new drive an M.2 SSD? If so, which slot in the motherboard did you install it in? Some M.2 slots disable some of the SATA ports. Try moving the D drive to a different SATA port or moving the M.2 SSD to the top M.2 slot (closest to the CPU is usually connected directly to the CPU not the chipset, but double check with your motherboard manual).
