Not recognising original hard drive after installing new 2TB

$

Hi, wondering if anybody can help me or if I'm buggered...

I bought a new 2TB hard drive, connected it by USB and did a back up of everything.

Without following any guides I thought that it would be as simple as:

-> back up original hard drive onto new

-> replace old hard drive with new

-> select restore option

-> be good to go

However after I've put in the new hard drive, I've had to install the firmware which has saved over everything.

Now I've gone and put the original hard drive back in the ps4 in order to properly do the process again but it is giving me the 'install firmware' screen as if it's a new hard drive. The only other thing I can do is boot in safe mode...

Any ideas as to whether there is a way to get it working again or if I've lost all my saves/data/games?

Appreciate any help, thanks
