"cant find a device" what?

[JBADS]

First computer build I built a nice entry level gaming pc, I am using a ASUS F1A75-V PRO motherboard. This issue is minor but annoying, I turn on my computer see the ASUS splashscreen appear it flashes off then some text comes up and the last line of text takes about a second to load then loads "cant find a device" disappears ASUS splashscreen then Windows starts up. My question is why and how do I turn this off obviously it is searching for a device that it does not need to? I am assuming this is something in the BIOS.

It probably is looking for your drive and then finds it. If the machine works well and that is it, I bet that is what it is doing. Sometimes my machine goes to the point where it looks like it is about to say missing drive, but then boots up. I am guessing it is the same thing if everything works well.

Yeah I have no idea why it is saying this, everything loads up just fine.

Then I bet it is just a quirk. Make sure all your cables are connected nice and tight, and if they are, I wouldn't worry about it. 😉

I guess I found what it was, I saw another sata 3 port offset from the rest. So I chose to route to that one, after rebooting the error message went away. However when I went back into Windows I noticed a device attached apparently this is some kind of "media sata" port because U can eject the HHD I am running Windows off of. I think it is weird that the BIOS would send an error message to me because something is not connected to it considering I do not need to use it right?

Yeh, but if it's working now, I would just keep it how it is.

Why would I want the HDD Windows is running off of to be removable media in Windows that makes no sense.

Yeah, but it did that with one of my drives and everything worked fine. I don't know what will happen if you remove it. Just don't. 😉
