Windows 10: SSD not being detected in BIOS but detected using enclosure?

Hi,


My desktop computer was running perfectly fine when suddenly the SSD (boot OS) is not detected when booting up. I tried using the SSD with other computers, it's not being detected. Removed other sata cables and just used this one and still not working.


However, when I tried using an enclosure, the files are being detected. Tried to boot it using the enclosure, I'm getting an error message (INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE). It does go to login screen when I do safe mode but Im unable to login because I was using a PIN to get access. Unable to reset pw as well because it's only working on safe mode.


Any help?

Installing SSD not detected by BIOS

Sequence of installing new SSD.

1. Disconnected the HDD with Windows.
2. Fitted Syba 4 Sata PCI-E card
3. Fitted Samsung 500GB 860 SSD connected to Syba 4 Sata PCI-E card
4. Installed Windows 10 Home in Samsung 500GB 860 SSD

​Windows installed fine in the SSD. Entered the BIOS to set the SSD as 1st Boot priority but the BIOS has not detected it. The only boot devices shown in the BIOS are the CD/DVD Rom and the Replaceable Device. *Mad
Device Manager shows the SSD connected.
I connected the the HDD which still has Windows installed but I get the message to "Reboot and Select Boot Media" even though the SSD is still connected. *Eek
Any help would be most appreciated.

Just noticed while safe removing USB memory stick that the SSD shows as a removable drive C\:!!!! *Eek
