HI, I have a desktop with two H/Ds 9 times out of 10 the second H/D does not show in BIOS disk management or control panel/"Computer". sometimes there is a clicking noise about once every 2 seconds from the case
I had this problem before and got fed up with the drive not being available and bought a replacement M/B I have also replaced the H/Ds so there is nmothing coomon except the chip and memory I have tried different sata sockets and cables to no avail
If anyone can suggest any solution to this I would be very grateful
 
Clicking sounds from the HD usually means it's about to die.

Did you replace the cable going from the hard drive to the motherboard?
 
Did replace the sata cable and the same has happened with two drives one almost new and the present one is only about 2 months old, it is always the D drive never happens with C
