Basic issue, I reinstalled Windows using another hard drive while it was unplugged. Once connected, it appears in BIOS but not in Windows. I'm running Windows 10.

Click the Windows icon in the bottom-left corner and navigate to Disk Management. Confirm no drive letter is attached but the drive isn’t listed.

It could be a simple misunderstanding—have you installed all the drivers from the manufacturer’s site? It looks like a driver issue if they appear in the BIOS instead of Windows. Are these older storage devices? Did you change from IDE to AHCI? This might not suit your setup, but someone found some advice online.
