    Win10 1809 second HD D: not recognized.


    Help. I have a machine that wouldn't update past 1607. I did a clean install of 1809 and seems to run OK. I unplugged my second hard drive D: where I keep all my documents and file during the install. Once I got Win10 1809 up and running and updated I plugged in my second hard drive and windows doesn't see it. I tried scanning in disk management and no luck. Any help appreciated.

    Can you boot to a command prompt and see if the drive is found?

    If Disk Management doesn't see it, does Device Manager? How about the BIOS, does it show up there?

    If not I'd re-check you have got the second HDD correctly connected. Check that all the cables are correctly seated.

    Thanks all. I went into BIOS and it recognized the drive. After F10 save Win10 recognized as well.
