My hard drive isn't detected in bios, I've updated bios and tried everything, however I have an old seagate barracuda which when plugged in boots into windows (I have no idea which version) , I think I need to replace my newer one since the sata plug might scuffed, any help is great

 

Thanks in advance

Oh yeah always remember to never use other power cables, use the one the PSU comes with.

100%. when doing PSU swaps I don't even open the new box til I've yoinked all the old cables. 

 

Have you tried the drive in a different tower? Also try with a different SATA cable as sometimes they will flake out only on some drives. 
TBH my guess is dead drive.

I don't think it's dead since when I bought it they tested it and it worked but it was plugged in via USB. But I will use another sata and see if that works
