My hard drive have clicking sound and now is not recognized in bios but i also have ssd installed with w11 and cannot boot from it but its detected and hard drive have w10 dual boot my question is why i cant boot from ssd which is working fine its not detected in bios but its detected by pc when i inserted bootable usb i can see my ssd when try to install windows.
Sorry for my bad english
 
the efi info is probably on the dead hdd. you'll need to google how to repair it. if you have any data on the ssd, you may want to pull it and back it up on another system.

How was the OS installed onto the second drive? From past experience, if you perform a Windows install on another drive (lets say drive D:), the install will work and the OS will boot, BUT, there are still files written to the C: drive. So if you then pull C:, you can no longer boot from D:
