I have an ssd (c) to boot win 8 pro 64 bit with one hd for backup (b) and two other hdd's (d and e) to install all my games to and personal files. My ssd was mounted on a 3.5" adaptor in a 5.25" bay so was partially floating so i ordered a 5.25" adaptor to fix it to.
Also my hdd for backup isnt used often so i bought a 5.25" hot swap bay for it so i can just plug in when i need to backup instead of having it constantly on.
When i plugged the drives back in i changed the sata 6 slots around a little and since then i can't get the pc to boot!
The hot swap bay seems to work power-wise but can't get to find if it works fully because i cant boot.
It seems to be a problem with the ssd as my asus sabertooth 990fx (rev 1) shows a constant "boot_device_led" light when it is connected but not with the others.
Basically when i turn the pc on it goes through POST but the mobo boot light stays on meaning its a boot problem?
I tried resetting the cmos a few times, changing ssd to different sata slots including the two sata 3 slots too, changing the sata connections from ahci to ide and back in the bios and none of this works.
One thing ive yet to do is turn off smart check in the hope it is a smart problem and will allow me to boot past the asus screen to try and repair the drive.
I'm not sure if its the ssd needs repairing or some kind ofrepair on the boot part of the drive or bios (boot choice)?
In the bios boot options it shows "boot manager" but i'm not sure the bcd is correct if ive moved hdd's around?
Thank you in advance,
Ste
