[SOLVED] New Hard drive stopped working [Help]

[JordanW14]

So, today I swapped my old PSU with a new one I bought on eBay from new egg. When I swapped it, the new PSU was faulty and didn't power up so I switched to my old one. Now my second hard drive doesn't work anymore even though I bought it like last week. The hard drive is powered and it spins but it doesn't show in the bios or disk management.

However when I swapped the SATA cables from the first hard drive (my 1tb boot drive) to the second. It prompted me with a message saying "no boot drive" and that leads me to think that this is a SATA cord problem. Do I just need a new SATA cable or what? What are your opinions? The cord has been working even before I installed the New PSU.

Well it very well could be a SATA data cable problem and if you only have two I would get a third one because I think that would be by far the cheapest and easiest solution....and at least it would eliminate it as a possible suspect.
