Unable to detect harddrives that I know are working.

PC not able to detect harddrive

I know for a fact that the cords that I am using (SATA and power cable) are working, as I tried them on dvd drives and they worked a mere hour ago.

Today, I installed a new SSD, and it had trouble detecting but after a few restarts, it was finally detected and a new OS was installed on it. I now have a 120gb SSD, a 60GB SSD, and 1 TB HDD.

The 120 GB SSD has no trouble being detected all the time (has the OS), but the 60GB SSD had trouble being detected - but once it was detected, it CONSISTENTLY was working upon boot up multiple times. Now, I want to have the 120gb SSD (with the OS), and the 1TB HDD (with all my stuff on it) in my computer, but my PC will not detect the 1 TB HDD that was working before all I installed the 120 GB SSD.

I tested cords that powered the CD drive, (which was always being detected in the Disk Manager tool and there works), but can't get any luck detecting the 60 GB SSD that I know works since it worked earlier today before installing my new SSD).

Not sure if this helps, but I know for a fact that my computer has trouble looking for new hard drives since I had lots of problems trying to detect an external hard drive.

USBs work fine. In addition, it is a brand new OS, and the only drivers I installed were NVIDIA Geforce Experience Drivers.

I'm expecting some sort of setting problem? BIOS doesn't say anything is detected aside from the 120GB SSD and my CD driver. SATA ports are enabled, and I enabled the hot port and external sata port to see if anything works but I have no luck so far.
