As of now 2 sata hdd are connected on port 1 & port 6, I want to chnage ut to port 1 & port 2 but the hdd is dedected on the port in BIOS & also by windows in device manager but does not show up in Windows Expolorer.

Do I need to do something else to get them showing in windows explorer?

Check disk management. The might be set to dynamic/foreign and may need importing.
