BIOS won't recognize hard drive with Ubuntu installed

Bit of an odd question here! Absolutely no idea what's going on, so I'm open for any answers.

I have two installed hard drives - a 240GB SSD, and a 1TB WD Blue HDD. I have my main install on the SSD, and a file partition and an ubuntu partition both on the 1TB HDD. I installed Ubuntu to the 2nd partition, made sure to install GRUB to the 2nd drive and everything, yet when I entered the BIOS to configure boot options, only the SSD appeared, no HDD. Tried a reinstall, with no avail. I'd prefer not to wipe the HDD if possible, but I can work something out if it comes to that. Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong?

Motherboard: MSI A320M
SSD: 240GB PNY
HDD: 1TB WD Blue SATA 6gb/s 7200rpm

Thanks!

Which MSI A320M board model is it exactly? BIOS up to date? Use the M-Flash tab within BIOS to update it.

Couldn´t find the exact model of yours on yourtube, but should be like this:

Maybe legacy+ UEFI has to be set, eventually secure boot has to be disabled

eventually reset the BIOS by jumper (jbat or clrCMOS or similar), you can read how to in the manual of your board
