Check the connections and make sure it's plugged in properly then.

Thanks for that very helpful tip, I never though of that....
Be serious now

Ive never heard of an hdd not working when switching psu. Only thing I can think of is it somehow fried the HDD? But incredibly unlikely unless user error.

All I did was install some fans and switched the psu, powered up fine but for some reason the hdd is not on options for boot, could I have fried the hdd?

Was the pc fully off and power switch turned off when disconnecting the original power supply? Did you switch to a different SATA cable for any reason when switching?

D3skstool wrote My best piece of advice would be to remove the connections, then plug them all back in, remove your ram and try with just 1 stick if you have 2.

Were you originally booting from the hdd, not the ssd? Cause if your boot is on the ssd your computer should be loading up fine even if the hdd is dead.

I didnt even touch the ram or nothing and my boot is on hdd, my ssd is still there, I can install windows to my ssd, but I've lost all my stuff on my hdd

Well one problem at a time. And having your boot on your HDD was the first problem. Go install windows on ssd, try booting from there to get into windows and go from there. Future reference, if you have an ssd DO NOT put windows on an HDD

SSDs are significantly faster than HDD. That's why it's always used for Windows and programs etc. Meaning faster boot time. Go ahead and install windows on your ssd and go from there and see if you can find your HDD in windows anywhere, I doubt it since it wont show up in bios but it's worth a shot. I still dont understand how it could've fried the drive but then again I didn't switch it myself so I cant speak for that. Do you have a second pc?

I have a second pc and if it was me I'd throw the HDD in it and test it.
