I built a computer and installed windows on a SSD drive. Everything was installed properly at first. I then turned computer off and plugged in HDD into hot swap bay for storage. My bios would recognize it, but windows would not. My buddy said to change it from ahci to IDE. When I did this my computer would not recognize either hard drive or let me into the bios, just black screen.So I restarted and took out both. Changed the settings back and started the pc again. My computer does not recognize either hard drive in the bios. If I put the boot disk in for windows, eventually it will load into windows( 5 min load time) and it reconizes my ssd drive, but everything is slow. Can I reinstall windows some how? I have boot disk in and when it asks to boot from cd/DVD I select yes and it just attempts to load into windows again.
Not sure if I'm missing a step? Or where to go from here?
