Hi,
I just went to switch on my system and it booted and then it went into a blue screen that said it was the CMOS Smart Backup utility. And basically it looked like it was listing 2 of the Sata controllers or something. Even exiting this and rebooting still made it go into this utility, I even switched it on and off and it goes into this blue screen again.
So I unplugged my first SATA drive from the motherboard SATA connector and booted it and it worked fine. So plugged the drive back in and expected to go to the blue screen but it didn't i booted fine
I did hear a faint clicking sound when it was booting but now its in windows there is not clicking.
I am running the seagate utility now on both of my HDD's to make sure there ok, but does it sound like my drive is on the way out or is this another issue?
