From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Is it out mounted? Can gparted or equivalent tools see it? If it's visible then for some reason it didn't mount automatically. If you can't see it, probably drivers.
lsblk is as low level as it gets, no? Anyway, gparted sees nothing either, nor does Mint's Disks.
Driver issue? For a hard drive? Ok... Uh, so what do I install exactly?
Edit: It's not turning up in BIOS either. Hm. Check the edit to my post.
I'm not seeing any image attachments in case you added that.
Some brand of NVME SSDs are the only thing I've seen live driver issues on where the disk appeared invisible until drivers were installed, in one case the pre-installed Intel SSD drivers had to be disabled too because they were incorrectly taking priority.
