    MB Asus Z-170A and HDD detection problem

    Hi!

    I bought new mainboard Asus Z170-A, assembled computer and wanted to install new Windows.
    At first POST was one of my HDD detected as posssible crash in future and at next turning on computer was not detected. So, I disabled option harddisk fast check during POST. It helped, so I installed Windows on that HDD, I know that it is risk, but cannot move data anywhere to make free space for Windows, even don’t want have Windows on HDD with data.
    Later I buy new disk, but problem for now is:
    Cannot start Windows - HDD is again not detected.
    So, how to disable HDD check or force true HDD detection on MB Asus Z170-A?
    I n manual I found it not or saw not.

    Thank you all for help.
    I know that are holidays, but also these problems are here.

    Is this the new HDD that is not detected or the previous known bad one.

      For computers that have UEFI as opposed to legacy BIOS, you may need to disable secure boot and change UEFI to CSM Boot, not all computers and BIOS are the same, please refer to your user manual if you have one as the following steps are only one such example.

      While the computer is re-starting,you will need to continually tap or hold down the particular key that will allow you to access the BIOS on your computer, we will use the F2 key as an example here;

      After restarting the computer, when the screen goes black, press and hold down the F2 key, wait for the BIOS to load.

      Select Security → Secure Boot and then Disabled.
      Select Advanced → System Configuration and then Boot Mode.
      Change UEFI Boot to CSM Boot.
      Save the changes and Exit the BIOS, commonly F10.

          Nothing new, we can close thread as maybe unsolved or solved - in both cases remove “in progress”
