Second internal hard drive doesnt work

[Alucard021]

Good evening,

so today I installed new fans to my system and also did some cable management.

Everything is working but not the second hard drive. I tried switching the SATA and power cable but still it wont show up in the bios or the device manager in windows 8.

I hope you guys can help me out!

All the power cables and data cables are secured in the PSU and drives, if modular, or to the disc itself?

Try reseating them again.

What do you mean with reseating?

Forgot to mention, the hard drive seems like it is not spinning at all when booting.

Tried different power cable but still wont work. It only about 1 month old.

Hey Alucard021,

 

Since the drive itself is not spinning up at all of showing up in BIOS/device manager/disk management it's either not getting power or it has failed for some reason. 

I would suggest taking the drive out and plugging it in another system internally or externally (via a SATA to USB cable with a power cable, via a docking station or via a simple external enclosure). If it's recognized, I would suggest running diagnostic tests to rule out problems within the drive. I would suggest using WD Data Lifeguard Diagnostic tool for the tests.

Have you tried a different SATA port (besides SATA cable)?
