I've been running a Maximus IV Gene-Z mobo for a few years now. I wanted to get into the bios to use a fan control program but i'm unable to. Each time i hit "DEL" during boot it flashes "No drive found" and proceeds into Windows. Any ideas how i can fix this?

I tried clearing the CMOS by moving the jumper but that didn't clear up the issue.

A little more information - I have a Samsung SSD with Windows 10 installed and a Western Digital HDD that has misc files. The HDD has some bad sectors so i thought maybe that was holding things up. I restarted the machine without the HDD connected but i still got the "No drive found" issue.

I tried disconnecting the HDD. I haven't tried disconnecting the SSD and trying. I was under the impression that i'd need that attached since my OS is installed on it. Quick googling tells me that i'm wrong. I"ll give it a shot tonight, thanks!
