Hey guys, I've searched around the forum, and I think my issue is similar to this one, but he was unable to resolve it in the original PC. http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-3041873/windows-boot-adding-storage-hdd.html?xtor=EREC-8889
My HTPC build is below and here's the issue. I've got my OS (Windows) running off of the 120GB SSD and 2x2TB HDDs installed for media storage. I tried to add a 4TB HDD for a RAID 1 config with the 2x2TB HDDs today, and ran into a problem. Whenever the new 4TB HDD is plugged in, the system boots properly, but will not display the drive in Disk Management although it shows up in both the BIOS and Device Manager (with IDE set on the BIOS). When I try to set AHCI in the BIOS the system won't boot at all, it just gets stuck after the initial BIOS startup screen. When I completely unplug the 4TB HDD, the system runs just fine.
I've attempted to connect multiple different power lines to the HDD, but that didn't seem to fix anything either. Does anyone have any troubleshooting ideas?
