Help, Missing HDD

[CONQUEST_Jester]

Okay so I'm not the most confident hardware person, hence I don't wanna go taken a look around inside my build with the fear of breaking it, even though i probably could do it fine.

My problem is, that the one 2TB HDD is not being recognised by the custom build I purchased from OverClockers, this isnt always the case though because at one point earlier it had recognised it in Disk Management as well as file explorer, but it has since disappeared again, would this be a cable issue?

Boot into BIOS, if BIOS doesn't see it as well, then you'll need to open it up and check the SATA and power connection to the drive.

it maybe a sata port issue, sata cable issue or power problem.

open the case and just re seat the power cable to the HDD and do the same with the sata cable at the back of the HDD and motherboard.

take it that the HDD is no longer appearing in disk management?

I had a problem with one of my drives going missing every now and again, changed ports etc and in the end it was the sata cable that was at fault, swapped that and it has been fine ever since.
