This is my first desktop I have built, and it has been working perfectly for 2 years. After not using it for almost one year and booting it up again recently, I receive an error message saying 'No hard disk detected'. After about 3 seconds it goes and it boots up like normal. I have an SSD and a HDD. It's detecting the SSD which has windows installed, but not the HDD during the BIOS, yet when it boots up fully the HDD works fine.
I've gone into the BIOS to see what drives it's detecting, and it is detecting my SSD which has windows on it, and my DVD drive, but not my HDD. The priority of booting up is the SSD and then the DVD Drive. It SHOULD be the SSD -> HDD -> DVD Drive. For some reason I can't see what motherboard I have (you'll see in the specs below it doesn't say) so I can't check if it needs a BIOS update.
How can I try to fix this error? I'm scared it might get worse
Thank you!

SSD = Intel (C: )
HDD = Seagate Barracuda (E: )
EDIT:
I have tried swapping which SATA ports the drives are connected in, but I still receive the error message.
However, I tried looking at the BOOT option (pressing F8 in BIOS) and it shows the HDD in there, but it won't appear in the 'boot up' options where i can give priority over which gets loaded first.
EDIT2:
I just did a SMART check on my drives, but it says both are in good health. Although my HDD isn't at 100% health. http://gyazo.com/f0e7258fe227e41d9f7954ce8631fca7
FINAL EDIT:
I just had to update the BIOS like 'JaredDM' said!
