did you reset the bios ? maybe check the cable?

 

btw if you can afford a maximus v formular why would you want to use a hdd for a boot drive? get an SSD!

yes I checked everything! And to your other question is that I orderd an 128gb ssd and the shop it's going to bring it next week! But the problem is that I can't wait! Also I think that the hdd has the problem because I tried with another one and it worked perfectly.

Its probably defect (never really worked or got damaged in shipping). Get a replacement from the shop.
