Hello there,
I have a rather odd issue, but I'm sure someone must have done it at some point or another. I recently built a new system and was waiting for my SSD to arrive to use it as my primary partition. In the mean time, I installed Windows 7 on a new Seagate Barracuda 2TB HDD to temporarily gain access to my other internal drives.
Once the new SSD arrived, I installed Windows 7 onto it, started using it as a primary partition, and formatted the Seagate HDD to be used as a secondary storage drive.
Now apparently, my BIOS still thinks that the Seagate HDD has the boot manager and obviously since I formatted the drive, if I try to boot using the boot manager, I'm met with a rather unfriendly error message.
Is there any way to "reset" my BIOS or get it to recognize my SSD and use it as a boot manager? I have an ASUS Maximus V Formula (Z77 Chipset) motherboard for reference.
Usually I'm pretty good with these things, but this is something rather odd that I don't know how to handle.
Any help is much appreciated!
Thank you!
