I can only see my second hard drive (in the bios and in Windows 8.1) after I press ctrl + alt + del after pressing F11 to select boot option. This is the fastest way, but I could boot windows and press restart if I wanted too. Nevertheless, I can't see my second hard drive until I soft restart. If I do a cold boot, I can't see it. Once it shows up, the read/write is totally normal, and on any other computer, it works as it should. It's only on this one that it does this weird thing. Even if no other hard drive is in, It only works upon restart.

any help is appreciated. Here are my specs:

Intel Core-i3 4150 3.5 GHz
Asrock B85M Pro4 Motherboard
EVGA Nvidia GeForce 750 Ti
16GB DDR3 Ram (4x4GB by Hynix) (not official site)


Hard drives (couldn't find official sites):
Seagate ST3750528AS (working fine)
Seagate ST3320613AS (the weird one)

well, no, for 2 reasons: 1. The same cable works fine with any other computer. 2. The plastic part of the data connector is broken, but the metal connectors are fine. I can't get the plastic part out of the cable. If I can, I will try it though.
