 Topic: BIOS does not recognize new SATA hard drivePosted: 05 Jun 2022 at 2:15am |

I have an AMD Ryzen 5/1600 with BIOS B450 Pro4 P3.20a BIOS (PowerSpec computer). Already have a primary SSD drive and a SATA drive and trying to install a 2nd SATA hard drive. The system will not recognize the new drive.. not when installed on new cables nor when installed with existing drives cables. I cannot find any additional settings that are relevant. Assistance and guidance needed and appreciated. Thanks.

Dear Rakes,
What happens when you disconenct the working HDD, and conenct the new HDD to the SATA cable and power cable. Be aware, some HDD's have a power saving feature, when you conenct them to a SATA power cable from the PSU, they will not spin up, when you hold the HDD in your hand, you can feel if it's spinning, because of the gyroscopic effect. If it doesn't spin, use a Molex to SATA convertor cablem, usually that does the trick |
