  1. PC recognizes hard drive but won't but boot it via BIOS (Asus)


    Hi,

    I just wanted to start my PC but it doesn't recognize my hard drive. Instead, my BIOS does recognize my hard drive... I tried to boot it from there but after some seconds, I got back in the BIOS.
    This happened some times before this year but every time I was able to boot Windows after some tries.
    Don't know, what do to now. PC isn't really doing anything currently.

    Thanks for helping me. Kr

    CD-RW not recognized???

    I just purchased a new case, motherboard, and hard drive. The motherboard is an ASUS P5AD2-E Premium. I installed everything last night along with a new SATA 150 300GB Maxtor hard drive. When I booted up everything went ok to begin with, I was able to enter bios and everything. I was wanting to install a fresh copy of Windows on this hard drive but my CD-RW isn't recognized. The CD-RW is hooked up to an IDE connection, when the PC boots is says scanning for IDE devices but it says that none are detected. So I installed an 80 GB SATA 150 hard drive with windows already on it, I can boot to windows but still no CD-RW activity. I'm really new to this stuff, probably jumped into building my own PC too quickly but I followed directions to a T. Any suggestions would be greatly welcomed.

  3. SATA drive not being recognized on Gigabyte Mobo

    After I updated the BIOS to the latest version 8 I was able to have the SATA recognized.
    After running sfc /scannow for maintenance I can't get the SATA drive to boot first. It is recognized in the BIOS and is listed first in the boot order under Advanced BIOS Features.

    When the IDE drive boots it is not recognized in either Windows Explorer or disk management.

    Any thoughts on why I can't see the SATA drive anymore would be appreciated.

    Boot from old hard drive

    The motherboard of my old computer died suddenly and so I bought a new computer. It has two 1TB HDDs on RAID 0 and comes preinstalled with Windows 10 Home. I wanted my computer to boot from my old 120GB SSD from my old computer but it doesn't seem to recognize it as boot drive. It was working perfectly with my old computer.

    I can view files from the SSD and so this confirms that it is working. The boot partition is marked active.

    I tried changing the boot hard drive in the bios but in the bios, the only two options shown in the boot menu are

    • Windows Boot Manager (Intel Volume1)
    • CD/DVDRW

    After searching online, a website suggested swapping the Sata of the old hard drive with that of the new one. I tried even this but this didn't work either. It gave me the error "boot disk not found" and in the boot menu, the only option was "CD/DVDRW".

    For Reference :

    Motherboard : ASUS Z170 PRO GAMING

    All Hard Drives Run GPT.

    Any other solutions?
