Hi Santosh,

Could you tell me if the drive is visible in Disk Management? It is a good sign that the drive is working when used with USB connection. I would recommend you to backup all important data. Have you checked if the drive is working on another PC, using SATA connection? If it is, the issue may be coming from your laptop's cables or the laptop's BIOS. I would restore it to its defaults.

Hope this helps

So, in that case, the issue may be related to some cable or to the motherboard. You should consult a technician in order to find the source of the problem. When you connect a new hard drive in your laptop, do you check if it is visible in BIOS? Have you tried restoring BIOS to its defaults?
