Why won't my Secondary HDD show up in finder or DU?

After doing this for the first time and starting my computer it worked like a charm but after taking the drive back out to swap primary and secondary drives (so i could have my os installed on the bigger drive) it quit working. Now my secondary drive won't work at all. It won't show up in finder or DU. I'm fairly confident that i didn't break anything on the logic board. Any ideas?

Yeah, thats what I'm thinking. I'll order a new connector and let you know how it works out.

Thanks for the help.

No problem. Ive had a few bad cabled in the past that didnt look damaged.

Replace with the 2012 cable as it is much more substantial. DO not get a used part!
