I have a problem getting my HDD to work.
Normally I surf the web and find the answer myself but this time i am stomped.
The problem:
I have ASUS A7V600 motherboard (a bit old), i bought an extra samsung 750GB SATA hard drive, no problems there because i have 2 SATA connections on my M/B and only one is taken.
I installed it physically, but my system couldnt boot.
Now i flashed and updated my BIOS (or CMOS) (took me 2 hours).
Now i still cant boot. It doesnt recognize my extra HDD automatically.
I can try via the F2+alt method, i then enter the VIA RAID BIOS utility and can manually install it. But the thing putting me off is all data on disks will be destroyed (at least it says so in the booklet).
Does this mean that my old (with all my data) and my new one will be erased? If not then i will give it a go.
But the problem here also is that with my new HDD physically attached i cannot navigate this BIOS RAID menu. sigh…
Is there an easier way to do this?
DO i need to enter this utility without my HDD attached first?
If mroe info is needed i am more then glad to provide
