Hi,
I recently bought an SSD to upgrade my system. I had a 1TB WD Black with 3 partitions, so I formated the Windows partition, unplugged the drive, installed windows with only the SSD plugged in, and then plugged the HDD back in.
Everything was fine and working, but then suddently my board stops regonizing the old HDD. I checked the plugs, changed the SATA port, and it started working again.
But then I left the computer on, and when I came back the HDD was not regonized again, without even restarting the system. I updated the UEFI to see if the problem was there, and the HDD did come back. I started the system again and it was still there, but then I restarted it today and it wasnt anymore.
I'm not sure if Windows can interfere with SATA recognition because when I go to the UEFI the drive isnt there. Once when I wanted to restart the system the screen went black but the hd usage led was on for about 2 min straight and I (stupidly enough) pussed the reset button. No idea if the system was actually doing anything relevant.
I have my SSD on the 1rst 6Gb/s Intel controled port (green), and the HDD on the 3rd port wich is a 3Gb/s also from Intel (black iirc). I'm waiting for a new cable to try and plug the HDD on the 2nd green port and see if that helps in any way. But I would like some ideas or insight on what might be causing this. I'm really lost on this issue, thinking of formatting everything over during the weekend.
Let me know if you need any more info or specs, thanks in advance.
