    hdd not seen


    Do you have a UEFI BIOS in this PC? Check in BIOS setup for settings choices for Secure Boot, UEFI, CSM, Legacy BIOS and Boot Priority order. If you see UEFI listings then report back all settings choices.

    If not then reset your BIOS to defaults. Is there a choice of defaults to select?

    You'll want AHCI for latest OSes.

    The pc that I wanted to put W10 on has a Gigabyte 970A-DS3 which is an AM3+ with the older bios. I had no luck with or without ACHI enabled.

    hdd not seen

    Ive just updated the bios on the Gigabyte pc to 1.6. It looks promising as the hdd is seen, however, I only had a backup hdd left to try with W10 so I stopped before wiping the drive. I have ordered a 120 Kingston V300 SSD from Novatech ( quite cheap in the UK at £49.95 ) to use with W 10.
