My first C:/ started to die, so I sought to replace it. It was a part of a build I've had for ~3 years that sports two HDD, so I decided to upgrade all my HDD. I upgraded the drive that would hold my OS to WD Blue, and my 3TB HDD that held my games would be replaced by a Seagate 2TB SSHD.
I was able to replace the WD Blue HDD containing the OS with no problem. I went into the BIOS, changed the load order, and their was no problem with the OS booting up. Upon installing the new SSHD, when I power on the system the POST is successful however I get the disk boot failure error. I checked the BIOS to ensure the right drive was being loaded first and I even switched the cables to check if the cables were master/slave and causing my issue. Nothing seemed to work, so I reinstalled my old 3TB HDD containing just my games, and it loaded fine.
I'm scratching my head trying to figure out where I went wrong.
MOBO: GA-X58A-UD3R (rev. 2.0)
CPU: i7-980
Config: SATA II
Bouns: Do I need special cables to it SATA III going? My mobo is capable and so are is the new HDD and SSHD.
