I installed a fresh AM5 PC and updated the BIOS to the latest firmware. Previously, my system used a 250GB SSD and a 2TB hard drive, but now the SSD appears in the BIOS while the hard drive isn’t listed. The hard drive is spinning, so I changed the SATA cable just to be safe, but it still doesn’t show up. After first boot, Windows 10 started without problems (though resolution was off), and only the SSD was visible. When I powered off and checked, the hard drive wasn’t connected, then it restarted and kept entering Windows 10’s automatic repair mode. I’ve tried various fixes from online sources, but it seems the problem lies in the BIOS not recognizing the hard drive. I cleared the CMOS and still faced the same issue. Help needed—I just want to use my new hardware. I also got a fresh 2TB NVMe SSD, but I haven’t installed anything yet and removed it from the system to make troubleshooting easier. New build details: CPU: Ryzen 7 7700X, MB: B650 AORUS Elite AX, RAM: GSKILL Flare X5 32GB, GPU: RX 6950 TX.

Yes, I checked other SATA ports.

I used two distinct SATA ports, though I didn't test all of them.

Consider using the new cable that includes the motherboard, test the other SATA ports, and verify the SATA power connection to the hard drive is secure. From what I understand, it seems there isn’t a specific reason your drives aren’t detected. You might not have enabled BitLocker.

the hard drive is rotating and powered on, but swapping the SATA cable from the SSD to the HDD didn’t fix the problem. the SSD appears in the BIOS, yet the HDD remains absent. also, it’s not working with BitLocker.

If the device functions properly in another enclosure or on a different machine... The main consideration seems to be the chipset configuration. Verify that the SATA storage controller is activated and operating in ACHI or RAID mode (prefer ACHI unless you intend to use RAID). I also noticed some SATA drives have additional jumpers near the SATA/power connector—usually they shouldn’t be present, and even if they are, it shouldn’t affect detection. *The drive might simply be dead; I once had a 3TB Seagate that stopped working years ago... it still spins but isn’t recognized in my PC or external enclosure.*

From my troubleshooting sessions it seems error code 0xc000014c is the main issue. My system restore points were stored on that drive, which eventually stopped working. FML
