I just upgraded my PC with new Mobo, CPU, RAM, and a SSD. The Mobo is an ASRock 970 Extreme 3 2.0 and the Processor is a AMD FX6350, using 4GB of DDR3-1333. The new SSD is a Crucial M4 120 GB.
I booted up the system just fine and installed Windows 7 on the SSD. everything was fine until I installed my 3 other traditional HDDs into the system. Now it won't boot and says the OS is missing. When I go into BIOS the M4 isn't listed as an option on the boot menu, however it is listed in the BIOS hardware monitor. Does the boot HHD have to be on a certain port? Currently SATA_1 is M4, SATA_2 DVD, SATA_3 250GB Seagate Barracuda drive, SATA_4 1TB WD caviar drive, and SATA_5 250GB Seagate Barracuda drive.
