my pc doesnt read the hdd after installing windows

[UrNsFace]

so i had one 120gb ssd that had windows installed in it, i replaced it with 480gb ssd and had to install the windows again on the new ssd...

so i did and after that my pc just doesnt read the hdd i have, it only reads the ssd windows is installed on

even though i checked the bios and the hdd does appear there so its not completely dead or something .

(sata etc)  in place...

what do i do ?

if the bios shows the hdd exists 

it means the hdd isnt dead right ?

If the BIOS reads the HDD, so should the operating system, in this case, Windows.

Any chance you can test it on a different machine?

 Yeah, you probably had to format it to MBR. Just go on the command line, type "diskpart" without the quotation marks. A new cmd window should appear. On that window, type in "list disk" and hit enter. Let me know what shows up.

When building my PC, I had to dilly dally in the BIOS settings so that a secondary hard drive would show up while using windows. I also made sure to format the drive just a formality. 

 

Is the SSD you are trying to use going to be used as a secondary or primary drive?

Do you have anything you don't want to lose in there?

[johnukguy]

In Windows Disk Manager, right click on the foreign disk and select, 'Import Foreign Disks.'
