SSD not found
Thought I had a failing hard drive, as I was getting a boot failure, but when I put it in another machine, everything is there. I cloned it to a new SSD and ... same thing; No Primary Master Detected. The BIOS is not recognizing any SATA drives as present (thought it does detect an old IDE in the same box).
This is a new one on me - is it possible the SATA controller on the mobo died? How do I verify that? I've been through the BIOS setup (default settings) and in the start up sequence I do see AHCI port 5 ... not detected.
