I installed a new HD about 18 months ago, and am using the old one as storage. On the weekend, the boot sequence changed somehow from my new SDD to my old one and my PC wouldn’t boot. I changed the boot sequence in BIOS to start with the new HD, and still nothing. I gave up and was ready to boot from a windows disk. Problem was, I only have two power cables, and both were being used by the hard drives. So I unplugged the old one to plug into the CD drive.
Reboot and the PC booted using thew HD. I have no idea why the boot protocol changed and why it wouldn’t let me prioritise the new HD.

Ain’t touching it again.
