OKAY, so yesterday, my HDD was running fine and booting up okay, but after I tweaked my BIOS, everything stopped working. I resetted the CMOS, and now my HDD won't boot, it just stays on the Windows 10 screen forever. My SSD, however, can boot my old Windows files, and when I look into "My Computer", the HDD I mainly use is nowhere to be found, but the other ones still show up! Please help as soon a possible plz.

Specs:
16GB 1366 DDR3 RAM
Western Digital 1TB HDD
Seagate 1TB HDD
Crucial 750GB SDD
Western Digital 500GB HDD
AMD Fx-8350 8-core CPU
MSI 760GMA-P34 FX MOBO
ENERMAX Liquid cooling
Rosewill 850 Watt PSU
Onboard Graphics (I'm still saving for a water cooled GTX 1080)

 
Solution
Go into the BIOS drive mode and change it from whatever setting it's in to the other one. You should have AHCI and ATA or Legacy or something similar there. See if it boot after that. And you just learned not to mess with things that are working, that is often the easiest way to break things. There are many posts on here that sound like "so my computer was working fine, then I changed some things and now it's not working".
