Multiple reboots required before AHCI auto detection of HDD
Ever since I upgraded to an SSD drive (a while ago now) my computer does not boot correctly.
It initially goes through the auto detect AHCI process, but does not detect any HDD and fails to boot. If I reset the computer, at some point between the 2nd and say 4th reboot it automatically detects the HDD and boots as normal, however it always seems to take at least 1 or 2 failed attempts before it boots normally.
A screen shot of the detection process is attached. After if fails on all ports a message "Reboot and Select proper Boot device or Insert Boot Media in selected Boot device and press a key.."
I have 3 HDD and one SSD connected (SSD has Windows 7 installed).
I have not been able to identify the error, and it seem if I let it fail once or twice, it boots perfectly the next time.
Any help on where I could start to fix this error would be greatly appreciated.
Regards
