So I've got a optiplex 7010 with 3 drives (1x ssd 2x hdd)
I've recently upgraded my main SSD by cloning the previous (by temporarily swapping out one of the HDD with the new SSD) - windows seems to boot up and work fine except for one thing, one of the hard drives is missing (the one that was temporarily swapped out during cloning) it's as if windows thinks there's only 2 sata ports and not the three.
The bios recognizes all 3 drives, but I cannot get windows to recognize it, I've tried scanning for new hardware. Please help
Have you tried using disk management and allocating the drive? Hard to believe the drive would not already be detected and allocated since it was a formatted and working drive (I assume it was formatted). That would be ControlPanel/AdministrativeTools/ComputerManagement/DiskManagement.

Not seeing a drive has to do with F6 mass storage Drivers and how the "not seen" drive is set aka AHCI vs ATA vs IRRT. MBR vs UEFI GPT is the other issue.
The 7010 in particular DOES NOT SUPPORT Secure Boot GPT and DOES Support Booting MBR XP. UEFI PCI-E booting is NEVER AN OPTION with this model. 32 Bit XP and Secure Boot Windows 8 and 10 are not compatible with each other.
no cloning nor migration apps stated nor revision !
cloning corruption has only one result, same thing,
no brand and model SSD stated, some are junk or must be SSD firmware upgraded. (not X300s drives)
not withstanding intels RST driver blunder on W10 , no OS stated by you, at all , just the word clone,
w10, 64bit version v1903 is the correct answer. (have it i do on d945G P4 HT,631 CPU here' mad science lab...)
we can not guess OS here. sorry.
not stating DISKMANAGER Can not see the old drive, that matters most and not stated.
the OS Boots ok on SSD , so what I do is put the HDD old in any drive dock or chassis USB
and erase it.
did you know that windows installer, Setup.exe can not see many things,? as does not windows actual.
It does not like 2 things, alien drives (non MS formats)
and does not like 2 active bootable OS at the same time. if you used real migration tools (minitools) it asks you
do you want the old DRIVE out or IN, after, pick out. (if not it must fiddle the active partitions on the old hdd, to make it dead for booting) ok?
just erase the old hdd, and then Disk manager can use it , in a sata port.
I use dock to do that and NEVER FAILS. to repurpose any hDD.
if the RST driver is bad (F6 tricks) did you know at intel they have fix for that? there blunder, the driver they had did not work on all versions of w10 (count at 8 now) blunder.
btw I tested my cloning app on all dells here, everyone, and not one failed even the relic 380 !(2009)
it even works on my intel D945G mobo, 2004 MADE, W10 64RUNS HERE. A PENTIUM 4, HAVE PROOF.
even my old AMD X2 64 runs w10-64 here(and all CORE 2 DUO and quads) stepping newest. (lab tests)
here are some cloning tips (migration)
old HDD. Back up data first. ( the endless mantra)
1: clean it first. get it 100% clean, CCLeaner then Defrag it as list step.
If HDD is full of silly useless now videos , delete those next. (4 GB each, omg)
If w10 now do a inline update of w10 to w10 so no corruption !. (if this fails the HDD is BAD)
run full S.M.A.R.T test on old HDD if not Green but is red or yellow failed, it is NO GOOD> end story HDD. "free crystaldiskinfo.exe"
2: then shrink the old HDD partitions, to less than new SSD size, tad less. (cuts risk this next)
3: run minitools appl free, (it can do #2 above super easy)
4: then migrate the hdd and tell it old drive will be removed, and park it for 30 days that hdd
5: remove the old HDD and park it off line on shelf, then when 100% sure the OS is not corrupted, you then erase that old HDD, using Killdisk, I have $15 HDD docking box, USB, (have many I do) and erase the drive using killdisk or if disk manger sees it delete volume.
6: then with DISK in SATA port, and disk manager running, format the drive and assign a driver letter first.
that is it, doing clones since w95, 1000s done, done maybe 20 this year, retired, for me and friends /neighbors and family. (all are w10 no need to use any older OS ) not now.
on any old PC do not use UEFI, any of that. period. let the w10 installer do all steps for you , formatting erased drive to start. let it. (here is clone page with pitfalls covered)
the HDD has this UUID serial code, having 2 UUIDs same on one PC is not allowed, for sure on SATA ports.
use a docking station and erase the old HDD on any PC you have, easy as pie.
this is why I asked you what cloning tool you used, due to the tricky handling of UUIDs.
Note The IOCTL_SCSI_MINIPORT_FIRMWARE control code is not implemented in Windows 7 SP1 or Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1. Therefore, you cannot update the firmware on NVME devices that are running these operating systems. The control code was made available starting from Windows 8.1.
Windows PE F6 drivers are available as a cab file that must be extracted. I use 7zip to extract the files to the root of my USB Flash Drive. They also are placed in the my documents library for all users.
UNEXPECTED_KERNEL_MODE_TRAP (7f) EXCEPTION_DOUBLE_FAULT occurs after upgrade from Windows* 7 32-bit to Windows® 10 32-bit with Intel® RST driver version 15.2.10.1044.
Unfortunately anything that's plugged into that sata port is no longer showing (this doesn't appear to be a partition issue or hardware issue of the drive as I'm able to get the the HDDs to individually work on the other sata port).
As I say it's as if windows thinks a sata port is missing (but again the BIOS sees it)
I don't know if it could possibly be this simple, but here's what I would try: Turn off that SATA port in BIOS and boot to Windows. Restart, go to BIOS and turn that SATA port back on and boot to Windows.
