Thank you for posting on the HP Support Community.

 

The BIOS will not detect a SSD if the data cable is damaged or the connection is incorrect. ... Be sure to check your SATA cables are tightly connected to the SATA port connection. The easiest way to test a cable is to replace it with another cable. If the problem persists, then the cable was not the cause of the problem. 

 

Please reply back with the product and serial number: Use this link to find it: http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c03754824

 

Hope this helps! Keep me posted for further assistance.
