Subject: Hard drives disappeared from bios
Posted: 18 Apr 2016 at 12:10am
I have used the same cables that show the DVD and run that fine but the bios doesn't detect any SATA drives there either except the DVD. The drives are OK and will show up if hooked up through a USB dock. I updated the bios with the flash utility but still no go. i set all the SATA ports on enabled for SSD in the bios settings. I tried using a SATA port card in a PC slot and still no go. i am running the desktop under ubuntu live Cd now and it works fine. I can't put it on any hard drive cause the bios won't see them unless I place them in a USB dock. I don't know how well it work to try run linux from a USB dock or if it would boot up OK from cold start but can try that til I put in a new mother board.. I got four good years from the Fatali1yZ77 so maybe its time for an upgrade soon anyway.
