    Hard drives only detected after a reboot

    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.

    Hard drives only detected after a reboot

    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.

    Hard drives only detected after a reboot

    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.

    Hard drives only detected after a reboot

    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.

    Hard drives only detected after a reboot

    Okay new update. I tried a couple things with what I've been able to gather online. I updated my BIOS and tried to boot up with HDD Delay as well as Fast Boot off, no luck. I used the Seagate diagnostic tool for HDD1, nothing suspicious found. No new firmware to update to either. As for HDD2...

    Hard drives only detected after a reboot

    Yes, time for the update. So I have a SSD with my OS on it, I booted the computer with or without other drives, never had an issue with the SSD. Then there's HDD1. It's the one which I was talking about in the first place. HDD1 is not detected when I boot my computer but is when I reboot it. I...

    Hard drives only detected after a reboot

    I might give this a try but I have no external enclosure just yet and I'm using data on my HDD all the time. I'll keep you updated.

    Hard drives only detected after a reboot

    Oh I see what you mean. Well then yes, PC boots normally when only the SSD is plugged in. But to be honest I've only tried a couple times.

    Hard drives only detected after a reboot

    Well I'm not sure what the test would show. With the SSD connected, only the SSD shows in the file explorer. With the HDD plugged in as well, I only see the SSD on first boot and both drives after a reboot.

    Hard drives only detected after a reboot

    Hello Bruce and thank you for the response. I am an idiot. I've had this setup for so long I actually forgot. I don't have 2 HDDs but 1 HDD with 2 partitions (plus the SSD). So then of course, the test loses its purpose. Sorry for the confusion.

    Hard drives only detected after a reboot

    Hello all, I've had a weird issue with my PC for the longest time, I'm finally resorting to asking for help. I have 2 HDDs and a SSD with my OS on it. When I boot my computer from being turned off, only the SSD is detected. I need to perform a first boot and then reboot the PC to have access...
