Hey! It looks like you're trying to figure out why your laptop only boots when the HDD is removed. Since you already have a Samsung SSD with Windows 10, it seems the problem might be with the old hard drive. A CMOS reset could help, but if the issue was always about the HDD, you probably won’t need a new one unless there’s a deeper hardware problem.

Insert the hard drive into a caddy or USB SATA cable, then link it to a functioning computer. Execute crystaldiskinfo to assess its condition. Typically, the system will recognize it as operational even without the drive connected, suggesting possible damage.
