Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hello guys,
I've got a problem with my caddy (second) HDD in my g6.Before few days i did fresh new installation on brand new ssd (kingston v300 if it does it matter) with windows 10 on it (while installing my second HDD it wasn't in laptop).All seems perfectly fine,works well and so on....after that i decided to put my caddy hdd back in place (instead CDROM of course) and after boot it wasn't there,was unrecognizable from BIOS and from Windows.I tried with few methods to detect it :
Computer Manage > Disk Management
from disk part in windows prompt
from Device Manager and still the same,it still unseeable.
I decide a problem comes from my caddy and change with a new one (this time was with switch ,first one wasn't with it) and still the same - invisible caddy hdd.After that put hdd back in a main socket,and formatted it,try again and...nothing,try and swtich theirs places and still same.Use last version for BIOS and all drivers looks uptodate.
Thanks.
Best Regards
