Anyone seeing this?
My system mobo has this problem:
I am occasionally losing boot order on SATA drivers ASUS P8Z68-V PRO bios Rev 0501.
This happens minimum 2-3 times a year. 1) It loses the order, and tries to boot off the wrong drive. My other drives have stale Linux installations so it usually doesn't work then. So if I can figure out the right order, easy to fix. My intended drive has Windows 10, not key to the issue just an incidental.
2. OR; it completely loses recognization of the drive with Windows on it. In BIOS, you cannot see it, period. In that case, I unplug the power cable and wait an hour or so, then try again.
This has been happening more frequently lately, I think because Windows 10 has been driving in some updates requiring reboot.
I don't remember if I've replaced my CMOS battery lately. I'll check it over.
I just updated to rev 3402 bios for this board from ASUS so will be interesting to see if the problem diminishes.
The problem preceeded me adding another HDD on which I put Windows 10. At that point I had two drives in which I was juggling Ubuntu and Mint, and the same issue happened there, occasionally.
== > Later That Day ....
BIOS update didn't help. Toggled some other BIOS setting, the drive I wanted disappeared on the next reboot, then came back after leaving unpowered a while.
