Added new/old HDs and now I get 'Reboot and Select Proper Media.'
My first build.
Originally, I had 2 3tb Seagates in this machine. I had Win 7 installed on one of the drives and the other was for future storage. They both worked fine.
I had an extra SSD so I unplugged the HDs and installed the SSD. I did a clean install with W7pro on the SSD. It's been working fine for a week or so. It's just the SSD now.
I put a new PSU in tonight. I plugged the SSD back in and it booted just fine.
I shut down and plugged the 2 3tb HDs back in. I got 'Reboot and Select Proper Media.'
I rebooted and went into boot select and selected the SSD and got the same message.
I went into the BIOS to try and make sure it was booting to the SSD and it seems to be set correctly. Same message.
I figured that maybe the one HD having W7 installed on it might be causing problems so I decided to use GPARTED on DVD to delete the first partition of the HD (the one with the boot on it [hope I'm explaining this correctly]) but It won't even boot the DVD. I get the same message.
I will say this...the BIOS on this machine confuses me. Other BIOSs you select a boot device and hit +/- and the boot device moves. This BIOS is not quite like that. Not sure if I'm doing it right HOWEVER, I can hit F12 at boot and I get the option to load the DVD first. It just doesn't work.
This is also new to me. One of the boot devices in the BIOS and at start up is Windows Boot Manager
EDIT: when I plugged everything back in I used the same SATA ports. The SSD is the 0 SATA port. I have no idea if that matters or not.
