Seagate barracuda hard drive not showing up in bios while i have a samsung 970 evo M.2 ssd 120gb installed

[jaigill05]

I have an Asus Prime B350 Plus motherboard and I have an SSD and an HDD plugged into my motherboard.
Whenever I try to boot into bios, my hard drive doesn't show up at all in the boot manager. The only thing that I have installed on my SSD is a copy of windows. When I unplug my SSD however, my hard drive shows up, and I can boot off of it.

Please help

Thank you

Thank you so much
I am decent at computers and i built it myself, but i am not too great at motherboards.

Can I use a 2.5-inch SSD with my hard drive then? I'm guessing not but please tell me/
Thank you once again

It only disables 2 SATA ports as mentioned above , the others should function properly. So you should be able to run both , just not on the 2 disabled ones.

I'm pretty sure that my motherboard only has 2 SATA ports, so can I use a SATA 2.5 SSD and a SATA HDD in both of the ports?

That board has 6 - SATA ports.

Use of that 970 EVO turns SATA 5 & 6 OFF.
