Soo i decided to carry my pc to a cardboard box in order to see how 'practical' it will be (and a little bit for fun i'll admit that 😀) after carrying and dealing with all cables and such, i made the system work but the awkward thing was that my 250gb ssd and 1tb hdd were working but my remaning 1.5 and 2tb hdds were not showing, so i restarted to see if bios recognizes them which it was recognizing them properly and i changed the cables between hdds. After that it didnt recognize the 1tb as well (meanwhile of all this bios sees all hdds perfectly) so im at lost what should i do ?
 
Go to the Disk administrator. Here is a tutorial:

If the disk appear there but their name is blank is because you haven't assigned them a letter. Just right click it and an option will pop up that says something like "Change the letter and access routes". Chose a letter that's not already been in use and then the HDD should show up.

EDIT: If the dis manager if not showing them, then they are not plugged correctly. Have you checked both sata and power conectors?
 


Disk management has nothing except my ssd and i think its the cable BUT i changed the cable with a brand new one (PSU cable only) and will try to change sata cable too tommorow which since i scrammbled the cable one of the hdds should have worked but im guessing its the sata cables
 


again checked that too and there is nothing there except my ssd now, windows acts like those drives dont even exist but it show up properly in bios so.... i dunno wat to do 😀
 


Okay i booted it up now and it said that
ATA DEVICES:
SATA5:SAMSUNG 850 SSD
SATA6:WD 15EARS HDD

Press F1 to run the setup

Which made me think that it probably just shows the hdds because they used to be there and i will post photos after i try some other cables.
