[SOLVED] new add HDD/SSD`s do not register AT ALL. *stumped*

[thomas_aaren]

So ive been looking around on the forum and ive found a few "fixes" for different scenarios concerning HDD or SSD`s not being detected or found by the computer but most of them have a error that is already identified and does not fit.

I have 1xM2 2xSSD and 1X HDD connected to the system already, But now NONE of the storage drives (internal, ive yet to check an external device) that i try to connect will appear on the OS. I am absolutely stumped tbh :s The first 3 drives i tried i dismissed thinking they was simply done for or burnt or....well not functioning.

But after trying 7 different drives both HDD and SSD and still not being able to register the new( older used drives of mine) ....yeah like i said im properly stumped on this even though i know a teenytiny bit about computers, enough to build them myself, although that i have no clue what the problem could be. I know i am not properly up to date on the latest tech so in suspicion of thinking i might just have some setting or driver, or somethingamahjigg error that is a newer feature or something...i just have to ask :\

Some tips or advice/checks for what i can do would be greatly appreciated!
Thank You

Hope that info helped.

The different drives i have tried range from Kingston to WD + a few more

May i add: I have 4 drives installed already and they work fine, ive even tried disconnecting a drive that is present on the system but still the computer does not find the newly added drive...but if i connect back to the one originally in that slot it works just fine again

1xM2 2xSSD and 1X HDD. All internal drives?

Did you have this issue before? Which one is new and which one is old.

M.2 is the boot drive. The 2 SSD's are connected to which SATA port? The HDD is connected to which SATA port?

The forementioned of yours are internal and i am also trying to hook the HDD i want to engage internally. I have never had this issue before, not in 35 years actually. i have no externals connected atm


The existing Drives are connected to the Mainboard M.2 and SATA 1-4. out of 6 connections. But ive tried to disconnect a working drive from SATA3 to a disk and the new disk doesnt register then either. But if i reconnect the older HDD i have connected it works fine..and as such...confusion ensues my problem :s

Did you swap modular cables between different PSUs?

Are you aware that recent drives us SATA power pin #3 as a Power Disable pin? In such cases you need to isolate this pin, either with insulation tape or an adaptor cable.

Oh wow? Id rather try BUYING one, what would i be looking for/what kind of specs would i be looking for in the SATA cable i need to try this out? This only goes for the newest drive i have...none of my older drives work either :S So thats mostly where the problem lays 🙁 Concerning the PSU cables...i used the included powercables that came with the PSU. I also suspected i had used an older cable and shorted the drive or drives but nah....

Thank You. The closest "solution" i have seen that might remind of the same problem i have is someone removing the BIOS mainboard battery for 5-10 minutes before inserting it again. I might try this, id just like to ask...Will i have any major changes to my OS and the programs i use/loose any data or having HDDs going all weird on wrong drive-letters etc?
