No, I have no drives that are IDE installed. My SATA mode is set to AHCI mode.
I see, well, I have no IDE drives. Do I change that setting for the storage controller to AHCI if it's available?
That's about it, the rest of the settings are standard, as I didn't change anything other than the boot order. The only other thing I changed which you can see in the picture is the Realtek PXE OPROM. I put it to Disabled since I don't use it and my first black screen booted to that.
yes change that setting . save it. and restart your pc. tell me what you get.
I did that, and still says no hard disk is detected when I restarted. I think there is no point in having it enabled as it is searching for something I have not set-up.
Should I disable it then?
yes disable it save it . tell me what happened.
I disabled it and saved.
When I restarted I saw the ASUS logo screen and it booted up straight to Windows.
are you in windows now?
Yeah, been using Windows now for 20 minutes since I restarted. Since I disabled it, nothing has changed. Still working like it did when it was enabled.
Should I just leave it like this and see if I experience another black screen? Could be awhile, since they don't happen often at all.
at your convienance.... check to see if you can see all your drives under computer . select the ssd if it shows up . check the properties and tell me what you see.
I can see all my drives under My Computer.
When I click properties on my C drive (which is my SSD), I see in the general tab:
Type: Local Disk
File system: NTFS
My used and free space and the capacity graph.
