I have just completed a new build and I am running into various problems regarding the boot process. The components are
Mobo: MSI Z390 Pro Carbon
CPU: i7-9700k
RAM: 16 GB Corsair Vengeance
PSU: CX750M
SSD: Samsung 860 Evo 500GB
HDD: WD Black 2TB
I tried downloading the ISO file for Windows 10 onto my other PC and running it through Rufus onto a flash drive. All of the necessary files were there and Rufus said it was successful. I attempted to boot from said flash drive with my HDD disconnected, but my SSD left connected as I wanted that to be my main boot drive. When I saved the changes and booted, I was just stuck on the windows loading screen, frozen. Then I tried to boot with the install disk instead of the flash drive, and at that point, the BIOS had none of my SATA devices in the list of bootable drives, but when I changed the BIOS to advanced and looked around I could see that my drives were being recognized as components, but not put into the list of boot drives. And as a result of no SATA drives being recognized as bootable drives, I was sent back to the BIOS after trying to x out of it.
I’m not sure what is going on here at all, I have verified that all of my necessary SATA connections are fine, and this was proven by them being recognized by the BIOS. The main problems are that my disks and such are not being recognized as bootable drives, and that when they are (like the USB or the CD/ROM) I am stuck on a frozen windows or msi screen.
