Unable to boot as drive is inaccessable
I have a boot issue, I've looked online and found some people have had similar problems but I have been unable to find a resolution.
Specs:
ASUS P8P67
Intel i7-2600K
NVIDIA 570GTX (currently underclocked by 100mhz)
8GB RAM GSkill DDR3 @ 1600mhz
Antec TruePower 750W
*GSkill 120GB Phoenix Pro SSD
*Samsung 1.5TB SATA
*Seagate 3TB SATA
Windows 7 Pro - 64 bit
About 2 months ago, my GSkill SSD failed (or I thought it did), it went through phases of locking up and BSOD followed by "unable to boot as drive is inaccessable. Error 0xc000000e."
I sent the drive away, and got a new one last week and have since reinstalled all my old programs, etc. In the interim I bought a 3TB hard drive to use as a replacement (my 1.5TB is used for media/storage/etc).
I have been using my SSD problem free for the last week, so I thought I would format my 3TB to get some more storage space so I initially deleted it from the boot records then attempted to format it while windows is booted from my SSD, but it was unable to format.
I disconnected my 3TB to put into another machine to format, and upon reboot of my computer, the "unable to boot as drive is inaccessable" error appeared again, i disconnected my 1.5TB as well, and tried to boot again, same error. I reconnected my 3TB, and my computer booted no dramas.
Any ideas??
