Ok, going to go ahead and apologize for my lack of knowledge here.
Whenever I go to boot my PC i get the following screens
1. boot screen, press "del" to enter set-up etc.
2. Detecting drives; Done; No Drives Found
3. Detecting drives; Done; No Drives Found (again)
4. Verifying DMI pool data
5. Boots to windows 7
I was wondering if there is any way to get rid of the Detecting drives screen.
I have a seagate hybrid SSD/HDD, taking away the detecting drives screen my boot time would be around 10 seconds, maybe less (Haven't actually timed it)
I googled and found a suggestion of disabling a sata controller(I think?)
When I go into my BIOS under this path, I get these options:
BIOS-> Integrated Peripherals -> Onboard PATA/SATA Device
-SATA mode [AHCI]
-Jmb362 SATA Controller [Auto]
-Jmb363 SATA/PATA Controller [Auto]
-Jmb363 [IDE Mode]
-Jmb362 [IDE Mode]
My motherboard is
EVGA - 132-BL-E758
(According to CPU-Z, my brother built this computer several years ago, then sold it to me so he could build himself a new, even more overpowered computer; it's getting kinda old, but still runs everything flawlessly)
In case anyone is interested in the computer stats.
Processor; Intel i7 920 @ 2.67 Ghz(8 CPUs)
RAM 12 GB
Graphics Card: AMD Radeon HD 5800 Series
Video RAM 4 GB
If I need to provide any other info just let me know, or if these screens are required for some reason or another.
