Hard drives only detected after a reboot

[Nikuichi]

I’ve updated my BIOS yes.
I also just set my SSD as first and only boot device on SATA1, can’t find SATA0 anywhere.

Issue remains.

[Bruce]

by SATA0, I mean what SATA port is the SSD cabled into?
for example, if your motherboard has four SATA ports, they’ll be labelled SATA0, SATA1, SATA2, SATA3.
some BIOS are set to assume whatever is on SATA0 is the first boot device.

[Nikuichi]

Mine are labelled 1 to 4 and I plugged my SSD to port 1.

[Bruce]

there’s always been a SATA0 in my experience.

let’s get your PC specs.

get Speccy from here; Speccy - Download Builds
in Speccy, click File > Publish Snapshot > Copy to Clipboard > Close.
now you can paste (Ctrl+V) that link into a post.

One component Speccy doesn’t cover is the Power Supply Unit, so please also include the make/model of the PSU.

New crap now days no 0, 1-4
Did you try the other suggestion
Bios
Boot option 1 SSD
Boot option 2 Hdd2
Boot option 3 Hdd1
Are the hdd’s both sata or old fashion pata

[Nikuichi]

Hello,

I’m unsure what you mean.
The SSD is my only boot option anyway so I don’t know if I tried this specific order but I did put the SSD first.

All drives are SATA yeah.

[PeterOz]

so you can’t see the other drives in the bios?

[Nikuichi]

Well I don’t see the drive causing me trouble if I don’t reboot first.
Aside from that I do see them but only my SSD is bootable so it’s always going to be first in my BIOS list.

[PeterOz]

Try this
on Motherboard SSD is already plugged into port 1
Plug HDD2 into port 2
Hdd1 into port 3

[Nikuichi]

Well I did that to no avail unfortunately.
I’m also on vacation starting tomorrow so I won’t have access to my PC to try out new strats.

[BlindSeeker]

@Bruce - It is possible that the battery on the motherboard is bad. If so the BIOS setting would revert to factory.

[Bruce]

you have a valid point - worth a shot.
if it’s one thing I have learnt about computer’s - everything is worthy of a shot.

[Bruce]

@Nikuichi - any news?
