Windows boot fail: Boot selection failed because a required device is
Hi there,
I've recently built a new rig and I've had continuous problems trying to boot. I have two HDDs and one SDD. It seems when the two HDDs are plugged in, i can sometimes boot ok, and most times i get:
OrWindows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause.
Status: 0xc000000e
Boot selection failed because a required device is inaccessible
Please select a boot device, or something to the affect.
I've updated to the latest bios on my new mobo ( Gigabyte z97x SOC Force ) and ive done a fresh install of windows several times on the SDD. I also ran crystal disk to check health on the SDD and it came back healthy.
It seems mostly my boot problems are linked to plugging in the two other HDDs, though I've no idea why this would be, and how to fix it? Is it a motherboard problem or a HDD problem?
Any help greatly appreciated.
