It's not going to show in BOOT Priority unless disk is bootable, has working OS on it. Old one might have just file system problem but new one certainly doesn't come with OS or as bootable.
You most probably have to reinstall OS on old one and clean install on new one.

If system is set to boot into UEFI mode, then only bootable devices can be added to boot priority list
(OS needs to be installed onto it).
In legacy boot mode (CSM enabled) boot priority allows all storage devices to be added (even non-bootable ones).

Please show photos of your BIOS screens.

Under Boot it shows:
Secure Boot​
Boot configuration​
Boot Priority​

it does not show UEFI Mode, Legacy Boot or CSM?

I installed an iOS on the new HDD but it still doesn't show under boot priority.
I also updated my BIOS.
The old HDD seems to be damaged because it's telling me to backup the data. The funny thing is that when I insert a USB stick that only has music on it, it shows in boot priority and boot override.
