Hdd not detected?

[Letten]

Hello again, well, due to poor cable managment I disconnected al my cables, and connected them back, they are organized now, and now bootmgr is missing and my bios wont detect my hdd. y I recently plugged a 3 pin conector fan in a 4 pin male in the mobo. As I said, I just un plugged and plugged the cables, idk what happened

its not the cable nor the disk itself

Couple of things to try:

1. Double check all the cables are connected to motherboard and HDD. I know it seems simple but same happened to me yesterday and I could not get PC to boot and it turned out I had dislodged one of the HDD cables and not connected another properly.

2. Plug the SATA cable into a different port on the motherboard.

Try this and let us know how you get on.

I tried both of these things, I just unplugged the power cable, but the disk vibrates and does have power, It does not detect it, tried with different cable and ports I'll try now with other HDD

Tried with a working HDD, not detected by bios

It seems that 1 out of 6 ports does work, thanks alot for your tips Rabmac

No problem and glad you got it sorted. Not sure why you need to plug it into a different port sometimes but I have encountered this a few times.
