This is a bit of a mess here...
I have 3 hard drives - 1x120GB SSD (A) , 1x1TB HDD (B) , 1x4TB HDD (C)
C was partitioned into 2 parts for all applications/games
B is my windows installation
A was used for a few games.

I went to install Ubuntu - initially in a third partition on C. However, once installed, I was incapable of booting into it, so I removed it and tried using the SSD in a single partition. Same problem, only now, I can ONLY boot Ubuntu, and not Windows.

Yes, I can access my bios - And yes, I can even change the load order and priority in the BIOS. It just doesn't seem to DO anything - It always attempts to load them in the order of A-B-C. Manualy selecting which drive with F11 changes nothing. When I just decided to remove Ubuntu completely, it still tried to boot from A, leaving me with just a blank screen with an input "_".

What the hell is going on?

do you have bridges/jumpers installed o your hard drives if so remove them. if that fails remove the non windows drives and reinstall there the add them back in one at a time then report back.

if that fails load factry defaults on the motherbord
and ty the same thing if you an get in to windows you can re enable the drives from there then install ubanto after.

Okay, removed the jumpers from A, booted from B, and it told me to use a bootable drive - So, it refuses to boot windows. I checked, windows IS still installed on it. I'll try facotry default MoBo in a minute
