HDD not recognized at first boot

[chris1784]

I have a HDD via SATA connected to my 965P. Whenever I boot it for the day, BIOS doesn't recognize the HDD, I have to wait a while and restart the computer for the HDD to be recognized. Is this a problem with the HDD spinner. Is there any way to fix this problem? Thanks

the disk spins i already tried puttin the HDD as the first and only start up in BIOS.

Some bios versions have a drive delay timer that is adjustable. Some drives don't spin up as fast as others, and this bios setting helps avoid that situation.

what would this be called? the adjuster.. I was also wondering, does anyone else here have the same problems

btw, im running this on a gigabyte 965P DS3 mobo
