BIOS won't detect HDD or SSD

MadSuperHero · Mar 4, 2015

Hey!

I built this computer a few years ago, mobo: asrock z77 e4 CPU: i5 3570 GPU: r9 280
So the other day, I rebuilt it because the cable management was awful and I wanted to get rid of the dust inside. But when i turn it on, and go into bios, it will not show me my hard drive and SSD. My computer will boot up into windows but its just strange that I cant choose my boot drive.
Is this a sign of my sata ports being broken? Any help is much appreciated.

older z77 some of them had 3 party sata chipset. make sure the drives are on the right ports. also check to see if the sata ports in the bios are set right. also check that the cable are locked in on the mb and not snapped off.

Hey there, MadSuperHero!

I think that maybe some of the connections are loose, maybe. I'd suggest to reseat the cables to the HDDs again and make sure everything is plugged properly. A restart of BIOS might be a good idea as well. Here's a link that shows 3 ways to reset your BIOS: http://www.wikihow.com/Reset-Your-BIOS
Keep in mind that these methods will restore your BIOS setting back to default.

Hope this helps! Let me know how it goes though!

So I fixed it

what i did was go into BIOS. Go to the advanced tab. Went to Storage Configuration Sata 0 (MY SSD) and set the Drive type to Solid State. Thanks for the help guys!
