Hello everyone. I have a huge problem. I just installed a new m.2 SSD ( Corsair MP510 960GB) and now my old 1TB HDD can't be found anywhere on my pc. I searched in disk management, in speccy and even in BIOS, but it's not there. I checked the sata cable and the power supply and they are all in correctly. I don't know what to, any advice would be much appreciated.

What SATA port is the hard drive plugged into. The manual specifically calls out SATA ports 5 & 6 as unavailable when using an M2 card.

Just move the HDD cable to SATA port 1,2,3 or 4.

Simple.....plug the drive into any port OTHER than ports 5 & 6
