  1. PC Not Detecting New SSD


    I just installed a new SSD. Two cables are attached to it I guess SATA and something else. When I boot up my PC I get something about selecting a boot device. I cannot select anything because this message is the only thing on the screen. I restart the PC and the message keeps coming up. If I plug back in my old SSD the PC boots but the SSD is not detected so it's like it's not even there.

    :)

  2. PC Build Steps

    Ok just because I like steps i am going to create some steps. Please give me the stamp of approval/disapproval
    • Install system in case
      • Remember to connect SSD and optical to same SATA ports on motherboard
    • Turn on PC
    • setup HDD
    • run blend test in prime95 for 30-60 min
      • run realtemp at the same time
    • While in Prime95 test
      • if CPU goes above 70c in RealTemp, I have a leaky CPU
      • if my system locks up or blue screens, there is an instability in the system somewhere
      • if my system does not lock up or blue screen, my CPU is not damaged and I am in the clear!
    What do you guys think??

  4. PC Not Detecting New SSD

    New ssd won't boot up without old ssd attached to pc - new ssd only has one partition

    Only the old ssd is listed in the boot order as the new ssd doesn't have an MBR partition.

    The pc recognizes both devices as connected (and I use the new ssd for more than a year with windows installed on it) it just doesn't have the necessary partition for booting up, thats why the ssd doesn't show up as an option in the boot order.
