Did you try changing the boot mode to UEFI?

bigtrak · 24 Dec 2021 at 21:42

Boot mode select is greyed out (locked to uefi I guess)

I had something similar before happen on my B450 and there was another way to change it in the security section rather than the boot menu I think.

uefi is greyed out but doesn’t show too well in the picture

Try looking in settings > advanced > Windows OS config.

Well we’re getting somewhere I’ve managed to boot from c partition,
But for some reason it’s from last year,must be a back up as all apps games and stuff are all out of date ?
Even stuff in the folders are a year out of date ?

Must be booting from the wrong hard drive, I guess there are windows installations on more than one storage media.

Pretty sure that could well be the case, just tried todo a restore to a while back and it wouldn’t let me.
Can’t even change the boot option as they are not showing to even try it

Anything referring to csm or compatiblity support module in bios?

Has all the other drives appeared ?

bigtrak · 24 Dec 2021 at 22:38

Just waiting as we speak to see if this will restore prettysure it won’t as it looks like it’s hanging.
Then I will go in bios and take a look.
This is all I need on crimbo eve lol

When I have it set to legacy and uefi I can see the ssd from what I can remember that had an older windows when I first built it.
If I can get the m.2to show in the boot order I should be good to go

bigtrak · 24 Dec 2021 at 23:18

Well I can go to save and exit in bios and click on boot override as all the drives are listed in this.
Works fine.
But as soon as I restart or shut down it pings back to bios again, and have to go via the boot override option again

Joxeon · 24 Dec 2021 at 23:51

Remove all the other drives for now and try getting booted in on the main drive.

Turn off all the TPM stuff / secure boot etc if your not running win 11 as the new bios enable it by default.

Sounds like a CSM issue to me.
