Hi, I updated my Bios for My Gigabyte K8T890-9 Mother Board & when I rebooted I found it wouldnt recognise any of my drives except for Floppy, I tried to reinstall old Bios as which I Downloaded as well & stored on Floppy but it wouldnt except it for some reason,.
Anyway I decided to disconnect all drives etc & reconnected them except for the (Slave)the 60gb drive. And then found it recognised what I reconected & was able to login, But as soon as I try to add the Slave it would then go back to not booting again & not recognising my Drives Again.
Does anyone Know what could cause a updated Bios to do this.
I really want to add my other HardDrive back as it has other Disto's I Use ,Linux etc on it.
I was just Happy at first that I had a Bios at all as it was the first time I had attempted to Update my Bios as I Know it can be dangerous if you make a Mistake. But it seems to be OK.
My Master HardDrive is a Maxtor 120GB & the Slave I am trying to connect is a 60GB SeaGate.
