Try using a different SATA port for your HDD. Clear the CMOS as well.

ive gone into bios and it detects the drive in every SATA port ive tried it in all and changed the boot priorities to the corresponding SATA port and ive loaded default settings in bios, this motherboard doesn't have a cmos button like my gigabyte board but i can look up if i can "jump it"? I'm a little afraid to try my win 10 ssd in it since it's my main rig and i dont have another hdd that i know works with an os i have an old hdd with windows xp it loads in xp load menu then restarts in loop but idk if its just corrupt harddrive.
