I just reinstalled Windows and overlooked disconnecting my HDD during the process. Now it isn’t showing up in Windows or BIOS, not even in Disk Management. Any suggestions on how to resolve this? The HDD itself seems to be functioning properly and is vibrating normally.

Ensure the SATA data cable is connected to both ends before use. Remove and reinsert it completely.

i've been changing sata cables from the original ones to those meant for my other hdd or ssd just in case the issue lies with the cable itself.

just to mention, after I finished updating Windows, the HDD started showing up again
