    Not booting auto from harddrive


    Hello again, I had another problem a few days ago, but fixed it.
    But now I am getting this strange behaviour.

    PC:
    OS: Windows 7 32-bit
    Mobo: ASUS P8P67-M Pro
    CPU: i7-2600K
    RAM: 2 x 2GB Kingston
    Hard disk 1: 300GB Barracuda
    Hard disk 2: Old 250GB SATA 1 generation
    Optical Drive 1:Standard DVD writer
    Optical Drive 2:Standard DVD reader

    Problem:
    When I boot (EFI Bios) I am automatically transfered to the EFI Bios screen, reason being it's not able to detect my hard disks, when booting. But once in the "Advanced" set up screen I go to the boot priorities and only see my optical drives and USB drives. I do not see my hard disks.

    But if I go to the boot override screen I see my two hard disks and can boot from there.

    So how come it won't boot from them at the start and why can't I put them in the boot priority field?

    Hi Markus,

    Is this a recent problem? What has changed between the time it could boot up successfully and now? What version of the EFI BIOS do you have?

    Thanks for the reply, I am using version: 0405
    The changes I made was only re-arrange my cables in the case since it was messy. And I changed the SATA ports. Still the same 3GB/s though.

    Hi,

    Can I suggest change back to the original SATA port on the motherboard, and see if the same problem exists?
