While checking to see if a newer/larger video card would fit in my existing machine, my secondary HDD (which worked just fine) fell out of the case onto the floor.
I reconnected everything...SATA cable and PSU cable, and when I turn on the PC the drive makes a sound like it's trying to do something, but doesn't quite get there.... a repeated sound kind of like a CD drive trying to read a scratched disk...
I go into the BIOS and I see my 6 available SATA slots but the second slot where the HDD drive is connected is completely blank. The first show my primary drive, the third shows DVD drive and 4,5 6 and show available, but number shows nothing. Almost as if it knows something is plugged in.
Am I missing a step, or did I just break my HDD?
