I have a Toshiba hard drive. It is not showing anywhere (e.g., disk management,file explorer). The HDD is shown in the bio. So, I took the Sata cable that was connected to the Toshiba HDD and connected it to another HDD (Seagate Baracuda 1TB). Seagate Baracuda HDD is not shown anywhere except in the bios. Can anybody help me ??

how do you run your pc without motherboard?
is the ssd m.2? it might be disabling a sata port.
is this an upgrade or new system with old OS?
Motherboard gigabyte b365m ds3h
Yes it is m.2. Recently changed my ssd.
 
well i have only one sata cable.
Yes fresh os install
Please show screenshots:
Disk Management,​
Device Manager - disk drives, storage controllers sections expanded,​
Windows Storage Spaces (Control Panel/Storage Spaces).​

Make sure sata controller is set to AHCI in BIOS (not RAID, not Intel RST).
