Can't set boot priority asus bios.

[Joe Papworth]

So I have two hard drives one for recoding games onto and one for everything else. One drive is available to set boot priority the others aren't. If I press F8 I can boot from the right drive from on option of two.

When all hdd's are unplugged the option hdd I want is default

Sorry if this is wrong but I can't fully understand what you're trying to say. Are you saying you can not boot from your OS drive without entering BIOS and manually selecting that drive???

Do you have a solution to this issue? I am experiencing the same thing

I had this problem too and just resolved it. For some weird reason, the ASUS BIOS only lets you use one drive in the Boot Priority list, but you can pick which drive that is. In my case, it had picked the drive I don't want to boot from by default, so I could only use that in the Boot Priority list. I could see the drive I wanted to use everywhere else in the BIOS, so it's recognized, but not in Boot Priority. It drove my crazy.

To change the Hard Disk to be used for Boot Priority, go to the Boot / Hard Disk menu instead. This cryptic menu lists all of your hard disks in a numbered order. Make your boot drive is the first one in the list (select #1, press Enter and pick your HDD) and go back to the Boot Priority menu. Now you should be able to pick the correct drive for your priority sequence.

I hope that helps!

HI STeven

I saw your response... I have a similar problem..can you help??
see copy of my Post below..

I have trouble with your solution because I cant find the"hard drive option in the BOOT submenu of Advanced options

MY POST COPIED HERE --- I have a ASUS desktop computer. all of a sudden yesterday it booted into the asus UEFI BIOS Utility. I am a
techie, but not up on windows 8. I notice in Advanced options i can see the hard drive is recognized as is the CD, but in Boot Priority it
says UEFI. Well when I put in the original ASUS repair CD ..the system goes straight to the asus UEFI BIOS Utility because it is not checking the CD ROM. For the life of me I cannot figure out how to
change the boot priority. The options which were there last night when I tried, are no longer there. ONLY UEFI

Guidance?

I know the thread is aging however thank you Steven for your post as it got me in the correct ball park with the same problem. However in my Asus uefi board the priority list comes up under boot then in a cryptic bbs service order and that is where I had to reorder the drive number. But after an afternoon searching the web I never would have got there without this post so thanks again.
