Hi, i have a older Aspire M3910 with a 64-bit i7 CPU and Installed Win 10 on it. Then I migrated all my old Win 7 from another computer over to it and all works perfectly.
I can also send to another HD via a USB caddy and that is totally ok.
Problem was the BIOS was set to RAID and boot drive was loaded under that and i couldnt get BIOS to see any extra drives in SATA slots 3&4.
So I made changes in registry and changed bios to ACHI and Boot drive works fine but BIOS still doesn't see the extra drives and all i get is clicking and can't even get into BIOS now, and after some time Windows boots up and they are not seen there either.
Tried 3 different drives which i know are ok plus they cant all be bad logically.
Spoke to ACER and they said Win 10 not supported ect and that might be problem BUT boot drive/Windows etc all working perfectly so why cant BIOS see the extra drives and jamming the computer a bit? Boot drive is in SATA 1 and DVD in SATA 2, both working correctly.
Acer told me only 4 out of the 6 sata slots actually work even though 6 are on board?? hmm
Thanks for any assistance.
