I have two hard drives in system. It used to seek out and boot from the WD drive. Now it tries to boot from the Toshiba and thus cannot find the system. Each time I start system I have to re-select the boot device and all works fine, but that re-selection always gets forgotten. What am I doing wrong?
 
Solution
It sounds like you are just entering the boot menu (F11).
You need enter this BIOS settings instead and change the boot priority.
This should be Delete or F2 as the machine starts.
If this doesn't help, check that the WD drive is connected to the lowest numbered SATA connector.
