System Not Detecting HDD

Go to solution Solved by byalexandr,

GOT IT! I had to disable RAPID mode for the SSD. The system wasn't detecting the drive but the BIOS was so I knew it was a software issue not hardware issue. Which is much easier to resolve. Wish me luck!

So I am trying to clone over the file system on my SSD over to my HDD so I can sell the SSD. Well I'll start out with a problem I found and somehow resolved. When I booted up the system with both the SSD and the HDD, the SSD booting up Windows, I had the SSD plugged into one of the farther SATA connectors from the PSU, meaning I guess it didn't have enough current and once Windows started to boot up the system powered off. Well when I moved the SSD back to the closest connector, as I had it before, the system booted fine. While in Windows, I connected the HDD, no dice. I restarted, still doesn't show up, even in the partition manager. I can hear and feel the disks spinning, and I am sure that the HDD is plugged into the SATA port and all. Any suggestions? Sounds odd, but I think EVGA f*cked up when it came to the SATA power. It's weird because this didn't happen before when I had like 3 drives in my system.
