Hi all,
I have 1 x DVDRW drive, 1 x 60GB OCZ Agility 3 SSD, 1 x OCZ Vertex 3 60GB SSD and 1 x WD 250GB mechanical HDD.
I have the Agility 3 and DVDRW connected to the 2 available SATA 3 ports, and the Vertex and HDD plugged into 2 of the 4 SATA 2 ports.
If I disconnect the SATA 2 port HDDs, system starts up fine. When they're connected, startup just hangs at the windows loading screen.
Windows 7 Home Premium is installed on the primary Agility 3 SSD, the 250GB mechanical HDD is an old one I had in a previous system which I just remembered I had stashed away, and which I thought I'd install for extra storage space. The Vertex SSD is unused and empty.
Halp?
I've had a look around in the BIOS, but I'm not too familiar with Gigabyte BIOS so was wondering if any of you could tell me which features/settings I need to activate, etc?
Edit: I have disconnected the mechanical hard drive, in case the system was trying to boot up from the old Windows install which I think is still on there, but startup still hangs at the Windows loading screen.
