I'm trying to boot new install of Windows 7 (on SSD) to boot with second HDD (SATA) with data.
System Config : AsRock Z77 Extreme 4, Single 4 GB RAM stick, Processor i5
Disk 1 : SSD ( Windows 7 New Install with AHCI)
Disk 2 : HDD ( connected to SATA port. Contains only photos and files, not used for Windows install)
Looks like Disk 2 is causing the problem. When I boot the system with Disk 1, I can load boot Windows. After connecting Disk 2. Windows boot Manager error appears with Boot Selection Failed because a required device is inaccessible.
Boot Order in BIOS
------------------------
Boot Option 1 : Windows Boot Manager
Boot Option 2 : Disk 1
I tried swapping the above order as well.
Hard Drive BBS Priorities ( Disk 1, Disk 2)
Boot Order in Boot Manager (via F11)
----------------------------
Windows boot manager
Disk 1 (SSD with Windows 7 )
Disk 2
If I select Disk 1, I get Windows boot Manager with Status oxc00000e ( boot selection failed because a required device is inaccessible).
ASRock BIOS Version : 2.90 (latest)
I'm unable to move Disk 1 (SSD) to top of the boot order via F11
What should I do to get the second drive to work? thanks for you help.
