Hi
I'm using HP laptop that i bought back in 2017. It came with 1TB HDD, and now it's starting to slowing down. I recently bought an SSD and a HDD Caddy, I've clone the Local Disk C from the old HDD to the brand new SSD and it's working fine now.
The problem came up when I replace the DVD drive with the HDD Caddy with my old HDD on it. The HDD is spinning, which means the HDD Caddy is working, but my HDD doesn't showing up in the File Explorer and Disk Management. It's kinda confusing since the HDD is spinning.
But when I try the HDD with an external case and plug it to my laptop, it shows up. So the HDD is not the problem.
Here's several detail that might help solving this problem :
Thanks.

Here's several detail that might help solving this problem :
- CD-ROM driver is missing from Device Manager
- IDE ATA/ATAPI controller is AMD SATA Controller
- I just update the BIOS to the newest version (according to HP Official Website)
- I've deleted the old Windows files on the HDD
- When I turn on my laptop with the HDD Caddy is already installed in the DVD drive slot with the HDD on it, it stuck with black screen just before the Windows loading screen. When I pull out the HDD Caddy, it shows the Windows loading screen.
Thanks.
