Hello
ive have just installed a new motherboard ( GA Z77x UD5H) and im having strange booting issue.
I can only boot into windows if i put the boot order in the bios to Windows Boot Manager then my optical drive and then my HDD
If i change it and have my HDD as the first Boot option it simply tells me that it cannot boot.
Once i use the windows boot manager it goes straight into my windows 7 install and all seems well.
However i dont understand why i can not boot from my drive?
Just a few details that i think may be important. Once i had installed my new motherboard i was not able to get into windows at all ( blue screen after POST) and i had to do a fresh install.
As soon as i used my windows cd to start the new install, i first had to delete both partitions because it told me this: Windows cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disk has an MBR partition table. On efi systems, windows can only be installed to GPT disks.
So i deleted both partitions and then installed windows without a problem.
Also... for some reason my bios had the boot order to start with my OPTICAL cd drive and then my Disk.
What i have already tried
I did try to connect my HDD to sata 2 ( controlled by Intel Chipset) since i initially had my disk connected to sata 3 ( controlled my Marvell Chipset) but that didnt change anything.
I also tried to use my windows cd to repair windows, but it told me that my windows cd is not compatible with my current version. Even though it is the exact cd i used to install windows...
So , firstly why is this happening?
Is it a problem if i boot from windows boot manager instead of my disk, and if so how do i fix this? Do i have to reinstall windows all over again? And if so, how will i stop it from doing the same thing again?
As far as side effects, the only thing i can really see is that my diskeeper can not see my disk health since smart doesnt seem to be enabled ( it worked fine with my old motherboard.
I hope i explained myself well enough!
Here is a quick rundown of my system just incase it matters
Motherboard: Ga Z77X UD5H (new)
Memory: Corsair vengeance 8gb (new)
HDD : WD500BHTZ velociraptor (old)
any input on this is greatly appreciated since i honestly have no idea whatsoever why this is happening and wheter this is an actual problem or not. Thank you very much in advance!
