Windows 10: Problems with accessing bios and drive connecting

Hoping someone can assist please.
Some weeks ago I had a problem whereby PC failed to boot coming up with black screen with message “insert valid disk and reboot”, after rebooting and pressing F8 small square blue panel came up (not usual whole bios screen) with the three disks that I have in there
· ROM drive
· Second disk (storage)
· Main disk (C drive (Samsung SSHD))
It seemed to want to default to the ROM drive, I’d select main disk, enter and it’d be away.
I disconnected everything connected apart from C drive so all I had was PC with C drive and no other devices connected for a while, problem didn’t appear so started reconnecting things one by one to try and see which device was causing problem, everything has now been back on for a few weeks and problem has gone.
Thought I’d go into bios and check boot order but F8 no longer gets me into bios nor any others for that matter (in fact if I keep trying PC gets a bit upset (high frequency clicking noise)).
NOW when I first installed win10 onto this new Samsung drive I kept old C drive in there and could access it as normal second disk, I removed this sometime back but there is something on there I want so I tried reinstalling it but windows doesn’t see it and as can’t get into bios I can’t do anything there.
I’ve tried a USB device that you can connect a disk with but although I can see stuff no matter what I do I can’t get permission even as an administrator.
Any help would be gratefully appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Richard

bios

Hi all i am new in this forum, i need meanings step by step of each item listed in the bios Phoenix-Award

 

Cannot access shared network drive


Personally, I wouldnt use Everyone. If anyone hacks into you, they have full access to everything and can demolish everything on your raid. I would rather set up accounts and access separately for each person. That way, I know who did all that damage. In the end with a little extra work, I feel more secure by using Authenticated Users.


If this helps.
step 1 create non-microsoft account and without email and address without admin rights
step 2 share a drive or folder to specific user account (if Everyone is listed, remove it)
step 3 set security > add Authenticated Users (if more than 1 account) or add specific users
step 3a remove Everyone from list
step 3b uncheck full control and write for all items listed except SYSTEM and Admin account.
step 4 right click Start > Computer Management > System Tools > Shared Folders > Shares ... to verify settings and change anything else. You can also see the number of connections to each share here.
