It was actually the drive. It’s a WD white label drive so it has a 3.3v pin that gets power from more modern systems, this happens so it doesn’t work outside its enclosure. I was able to put tape of the first three pins on the left which disabled the 3.3v pin and it works great now.

Where did the HDD come from? If it was loaded in a PC with legacy BIOS, a PC such as the 7020 with UEFI BIOS will not read it.
You might have to reset BIOS by taking out the CMOS battery for 10 min. to make sure nothing else was affected.

Huh, first I heard of such a thing. You are PC savvy.
