So due to my last hard drive being completely somehow corrupted I had to do a fresh reinstall of windows 8.1 Pro, after installing all of the needed drivers (or at least I did) I began the healing process. But when I went to My Computer my 2nd Hard Drive isn't there, what's more is it won't even show up in Disk Management even though I can clearly see it in the BIOS. I've goodled, watched, and tried literally everything I can from resetting the CMOS to even making my second HDD boot first THEN boot my primary second. It seems to be spinning and it getting power because the HDD is warm to the touch; yet It's becoming a real chore to get this 500 gig pain in the ass to show up but nothing. I've even reset the BIOS to default to see if that would do anything and it doesn't show up anywhere.

Actually I got frustrated and when I went to remove the HDD all together, I unplugged the sata cord by mistake somehow.

So I figure the moral of the story is to tug on all your cords and make sure theyre snug.
