I've searched through the old threads and I haven't found anything that is like my problem.
I have an old SATA HDD from a previous computer build, and when I plug it into my new mobo, it isn't recognized by it at all. It doesn't show up in the BIOS, where as a new drive like an SSD is detected with no problem on the same SATA port, SATA cable, and power.
The SATA HDD does have windows 7 on it, but that should only stop it from booting. It shouldn't stop the whole drive from being recognized.
The SATA HDD also works completely fine. I got a SATA to USB adapter, plugged it into my laptop, and I was able to see everything completely fine.
Would reformating my HDD make it recognizable? Should I update my BIOS? Maybe I'm missing something in the BIOS setting?
I don't have another drive to make the mobo bootable yet, so I'm trying to use my old HDD as my bootable drive to install Windows on it, but it's not being recognized/detected.
