I really need help here

[Lagan]

So what happened is that I installed a ssd m.2 nvme drive and then I installed it and now my hdd isn’t detecting in bios and isn’t booting at all I don’t know if I’m doing something wrong or my hdd had died or failed or the cables aren’t working

Check your motherboard manual. Some M.2 slots will disable some of the SATA ports on the motherboard. Usually it's for SATA M.2 SSDs not NVMe though. Try plugging the SATA cable for the HDD in to a different SATA port on the motherboard.

 

What motherboard do you have?

What SSD do you have?

What make and model cpu, motherboard, NVME ssd and HDD?

On which sata connector is the HDD connected?

What is the exact model of the motherboard? To be able to help I'd need to look up the manual for it.

If the motherboard has multiple M.2 slots which slot is the M.2 SSD installed in?

What chipset?

So I found it out the ssd is the problem the ssd stops the hdd from detecting/booting

Unfortunately I can't download the manual. It's possible Gigabyte's website is still experiencing issues from their recent attack.

Read the manual (it should be in your motherboard box) and it will tell you which M.2 slot to use and if any of the SATA ports would be disabled.

 

Try plugging the HDD in to a different SATA port. You might need to try a couple of different ones to find one that works.
