Did you set up your two HDD in raid or ahci?
May try to insert them in different slots? SATA2_1 and SATA2_5 something like that?

you also tried one in SATA3_0 and the other in any one of SATA2, right?
how about using diskpart to clean your both HDDs once and trying to reinstall them again?

i did one HDD which has Win7 in SATA 0 (port 0) with 6 gb/s connection and another HDD (dont have OS) in SATA 2 (port 2) . it was connecting at first time when booting , after two or three times of use the problem again occurs , i set my SATA = IDE in Bios Setup , if i change to AHCI then the System Restarts again and again.. pls help

You can only use your original mode during installing OS, if it is originally IDE, you have to keep it IDE.

Shall i change to AHCI and install the OS again , with two HDD Connected .. ?

up to you ~ if you want to use AHCI you should set them in AHCI mode before installing them.
of course there is some way you can change them after os installation, but it will be better to confirm any issue from a pure installation.

Rogan69 finally what solution did you find ?

Do we need to enable anything in the BIOS to detect other SATA ports?

Solution Worked For me :

1, Update your MotherBoard Bios with the latest.
2, Change your Boot Pirority to Legacy from UEFI.
3, Primary Hdd to your main 6gb's Sata Port.
