Question HDD shows up in BIOS but not in Windows ?

[InTakeYT1]

I have my windows installed on my NVMe SSD and my HDD doesn't show up in Windows (disk management, device manager, etc) but does show in BIOS.
To get my HDD to show in Windows I have to boot into BIOS and exit out and then my HDD shows in Windows (file explorer, etc). Normal boot up without going into bios first results in the hard drive being missing.
Any ideas?

What are ALL the other parts of this system?

asus b650-a
ryzen 7700x

32GB 6000Mhz
Windows is on my NVme drive
Could it be because I installed windows with my hdd plugged in. Also on latest bios version

I was looking for a conflict between M.2 ports and SATA ports.

That does not seem to be the case,

It sounds like the drive is doing some internal stuff, possibly error recovery. The BIOS probably times out waiting for it to become ready.

Can you show us the SMART report with a tool such as CrystalDiskInfo or GSmartControl?

BTW, yours is an SMR model:

Crystaldiskinfo and GSmartcontrol general, gsmartcomtrol attributes, gsmartcontrol statistics
did the gsmartcontrol test and passed
If it matters, my hdd doesn't show up in the boot priority list at all in bios but can be seen on the homepage or "ezmode" of bios

All looks good.
