Hard drive not detected.

[jere.ampuja1]

So I bought a new motherboard (asrock AB350M PRO4) and I put it in my computer but for some reason now it only boots to bios and it doesn't detect my hard drive. I tried another hard drive too but it didnt work either. I don't think there is anything wrong with the sata cables since they came with the motherboard. Please help!

If your drive is not detected in BIOS, then check

• all drive connections (data and power),
  if sata port is enabled in BIOS,
  if some other device like M.2 drive is not disabling sata ports.

If the drive is still not being detected, it just might be dead.

Anyway - if you change motherboard, then be ready, that you'll need to reinstall OS also.
What was the previous motherboard btw?

Usually to make it work without re-installation you'd have to:

• set boot mode and sata controller settings same as on old motherboard and
  reinstall motherboard drivers
  and fix windows activation.

But sometimes re-installation is the only option to fix all the possible issues.
