Hey guys, I've been trying to build my sisters computer for her and i have come into some problems. After building everything I powered on the PC and the BIOS and everything else loads fine. The CPU, GPU and RAM all show up fine in the BIOS, however the 2 TB HDD and the 250GB (replaced with 500GB since i thought the 250 was faulty) SSD does not. The configuration is set to ACHI in the BIOS (only other option is RAID), but it says that all SATA Ports are "not present" and I cannot see either drives in both the boot priority or the actual storage settings.
Here are the solutions i've tried and have not worked:
Tried with different Sata cables (although i used the same cable and it still lights up the light strips in the case fine so im pretty sure its not that)
Tried with different Data cables
Replaced with a different brand motherboard
Replaced BOTH SSD and HDD and they still don't show up
Tried different Sata ports
I really don't know why they aren't being recognized. I've tried fiddling with as many settings but none of them seem to do anything at all and I can't figure out why.
Any help is appreciated.
