the hard drive appears on my bios and it's even bootable but it there is no windows on it but when i boot from the other hard drive the computer doesn't detect my hard drive even my device manager doesn't recognize it but it appears like a hard drive icon with no name and can access it

Bootable? What does it do when you try to boot there?
It has no name but you can access it? How do you access it?

If your BIOS sees it but the operating system does not that means it is probably formatted to a non windows? format. Assuming windows because linux and mac would see other formats. If you have nothing there try reformatting it. If you do have something to save get back to us.

when i try to boot it the windows select manager appears without him i can't boot cuz i have multiple windows 7 and 8
i was able to access it but he suddenly stopped and he BIOS detect it on the start check when windows start i look and he doesn't appear even in disk manager the hard-disc appear like a blank space as a name i can't format it or even do anything on it but the drive spins fine i cannot access it because he isn't appearing on my computer on both windows 8&7
P.S. the drive dropped on the ground from a long while but it really worked fine and the disk was spinning with no over heating but now the board of the hard heat vary fast
