Product: Hp Envy DV7-7243CL
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I decided to upgrade my laptop hp envy dv7-7243cl by putting the OS on a SSD. I got the Samsung Pro 850 256gb.  At first, I plugged the SSD to the laptop using an SSD to USB 3.0 Adapter (Sabrent). The disk was recognized and formatted in the disk management. After that, I decided to install it inside the laptop (empty secondary spot for hdd) using the Genuine Newmodeus Product HDD caddy and cable for HP dv7t 7000.  The Samsung SSD was nowhere to be found: nothing in the disk management, nothing when using "diskpart" in command prompt. Then I unplugged the ssd and plugged the HDD into that Sata port but the screen was displaying " Boot Device Not Found. Please install an operating system on your hard drive. Hard Disk (3FO)" when I turned on the laptop. I even used the new genuine cable with the HDD in the primary Sata and it worked fine. After all these tests, I believe that the secondary Sata might not be correctly configurated. Any help will be appreciated.
