Hi everyone,
I just switched my pc case from my old one and reinstalled all hardware components. After reinstalling them, I noticed that my backup HDD (seagate 1tb) is no longer showing up.
I've tried different SATA ports/port slots and power cords. The HDD does not show up in the BIOS as well as in windows 7 Computer and Disk Management console. The drive was working just fine before. I carefully removed and installed all hardware and made sure nothing touched it that could damage the drive. I'm at a loss. Any help is appreciated.

Its connected properly. I can't tell if its heating up due to my cooling and as far as I can tell, my HDD that does work and my HDD that isn't showing up don't feel to be vibrating at all.

I found a solution to this problem. I had to create a live copy of windows 10 on a usb flash drive, and reinstall windows. My HDD had completely locked itself for some odd reason. I never hit or damaged my HDD while my cables where unplugged, so I am unsure of what caused this issue. My PC runs as good as new, but I still have to go through the 2.2TB infinity screen to boot into the OS.
