    Set up second SATA SSD as Linux boot drive?


    I have a 10-year-old HP H8-1070t PC (BIOS AMI 7.09 7/2/2011) running Windows 10 Pro v. 2004 build 19041.985. It has two SATA SSD's, SATA1 assigned as C: (Windows boot drive), and SATA0 as D: (data). System info says the BIOS is in UEFI mode. The BIOS's boot page lists the following: UEFI boot sources Windows boot manager Legacy boot sources ATAPI CD/DVD drive SATA2 Hard drive SATA0 SATA1 If I try to select SATA1 (or SATA0) to boot from, it throws an error. It boots ok if the Windows boot manager is selected. I haven't been using the D: drive, so I'd like to install Ubuntu Linux on it and boot from Linux by hitting F9 for the boot menu and selecting that SATA drive during startup. Will that work? Or are there complications between UEFI vs legacy boot drives?

    :)

    SATA HDD recognised as SSD

    Just occurred to me. Could it be that the primary boot drive is the Linux SSD. I've got a feeling this could

    be the problem. I'm not sure how to configure Windows 10 to boot from the SATA HDD. I will try reinstalling the drivers and look into the BIOS but would appreciate your take on my suggestion.

    New SSD wont boot

    Hi John

    Boot into BIOS, is SATA Mode set to AHCI to enable booting from an SSD drive?

    Is the SSD drive set a top of the Boot Priority list?

    Did you try connecting that SSD to the SATA Port normally used by your old HDD?
