Well I went into the MoBo utility and changed the boot order. It was all set up correctly before but the new drive confused the MoBo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So... is the drive compatible with the MoBo? Does the drive have configuration DIP switches that are set wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it works and is labeled correctly in the utility but the utility won't let it be the boot drive. Even when I command it to be so. This computer is from 2014. It's the one I've thinking about replacing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donkpow Posted April 4, 2023 Author Share #14 Posted April 4, 2023 Okay, it boots correctly, now. I talked to it and told it that @Bonkers4Yonkers is just that way. He may be rude and stuff but he doesn't really mean to soil your sensibilities with his perversions. So I hacked around until I got its attention and BAM! we kicked it up a notch. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
