Check all the cable and connectors and clean dust inside of the cabby.

Make sure your HDD has no bad sectors - scan with a good tool - download it from your HDD manufacturers website.

Try with a different ODD.

Check the PSU - I think it's not sending enough juice to all devices and that's why when your HDD was connected it was not showing the ODD and when disconnected HDD your ODD was worked fine.
