Ok thought since you were on the case already

#

im getting shit to boot now, i have like 4 different drives tho..

Im like 99% sure the os is on drive 1, which is an m.2 but when i try to boot from it, nothing happens, it just loops back to bios.

When i try to boot from drive 2, an old hdd, it boots, but i get like a recovery error think. I think i used to have an os on this drive, but moved it when i got the m.2

Drive 3 and 4 dont boot at all, as expected cause they should not have any os on them

Remove every drives (exept boot ofc)

#

#

Turn off

#

Plug everything back

#

I did that, only 1 drive was connected at a time when i went through all

#

And psu was shut off in between attempts

#

Well the 99% becomes 0%

#

I cant imagine i put the os on a 12y old 500g laptop hdd when i set it all up last time..

Instead of the brand new 1tb m.2

#

I have had old operating systems that i havent completely wiped yet

#

1st time boots on old hdd can take quite a while

#

Like 10min

#

And you'll have a black screen for long

#

Ok im trying to boot now with drive 1 and 2

balmy ore Apr 24, 2023, 2:46 PM

#

Just with one

silent isle Apr 24, 2023, 2:47 PM

#

Oh fuck me now it worked

#

Im on desktop

#

Ye the m.2 had the os as i knew..

Ok question

#

In the old pc, i only had drive 1 and 2 connected, plan was to connect 3 and 4 later to clean them up.

Now.. when rebuilding it all, i tried drive 1, i tried 2, i tried 1234, but i just now did 12

#

Is there any chance that the two drives depended on eachother, but could not have drive 3 or 4 connected?

#

Not if you didn't use any raid setups

#

Just swap sata ports and cables

#

Drives are picky when on new systems

silent isle Apr 24, 2023, 2:51 PM

#

I did use random sata ports, but still drive 1 with os is an m.2

balmy ore Apr 24, 2023, 2:52 PM

#

For example my pc uses 2 and 4 because 1 and 3 didn't work

#

And i later was able to switch to 1 and 2

#

For NO REASONS

#

ok in replying from PC now, just had to get everything else set up sorry for the long delay

#

#
