ASUS Boot Options Issue - SSD not recognized
Some time ago I built a system around an Asus H97 Pro. I have a Samsung 850 EVO 250GB (OS), 3 HDDs and a DVD W/R. All devices show in the BIOS including the Boot overide list. The system has booted fine but when I look at the Boot Priority list all I see is 2 devices - a HDD and the DVD unit. The SSD is in port 1 and when I shift it to another port it still doesn't appear in the Boot priority list. Others seem to have experienced this issue with other ASUS motherboards. Swapping sata ports was the only suggestion.
(I'm running BIOS version 2704).
Any suggestions?
Update:
This and related problems appear widespread with other Asus motherboards including Z97s.
In my case the Boot priority list only shows 2 devices when there should be 5. If I disconnect all the HDDs then the BIOS will include the SSD and the BD-ROM in the Boot priority list. When the HDDs are reconnected, the SSD still remains in the Boot priority list along with the BD-ROM
This is a late version BIOS and it's looking like an Asus BIOS/motherboard engineering problem. My confidence in Asus has dropped.
