    Hdd not recognised in Bios...but...


    This one has me scratching my head.

    Turned on the computer and the bios tells me Bootmgr is missing. Ah! panic, looked in bios and one of my drives is not recognised which happens to be the O/S drive. I opened up the computer and re-seated the Sata connections and went back in to the bios - the drive is still not recognised, however, it's there in the boot order section as an IDE not Sata drive...A bit weird.

    I select that drive as the first to boot and the O/S loads with out a glitch. My question is how can the O/S run if it's not recognised by the bios?

    :)

    HDD shows in BIOS but not on system

    Thanks, it shows up under disc drives along with the ssd.
    I tried to update driver which it said was already up to date.
    When I double clicked on hdd it said drive was functioning normally.

    Then I opened settings, system, and storage, and only the ssd shows as available as a target drive
