Hello all, me again...
I've finally got the PC built and in general, seems to be running okay.
However, on restart or start up, I get a black screen with white letters saying smart something failed.
-System Specs-
Mobo: ASUS TUF GAMING x570
CPU: Ryzen 5 3600
GPU: Windsong Geforce GTX 1660 ti
PSU: Seasonic Focus GTX-750W 80+ Gold
Sata1: Seagate 2tb 7200rpm HDD (System)
Sata2: Seagate 1.5tb 7200rpm HDD (Storage)
Sata3: HP DVD Drive
Sata4: Case Hotswap port
Hitting F1 takes me to the bios. Only 1 disk is available for booting on the right side, when I click boot menu then choose the disk, it continues to windows without an issue.
Originally I thought this was caused by having the disks in the wrong ports. My DVD drive was in Sata1 and my HDD with windows was in sata4. I switched them all around so that my windows disk is sata1, but it still says it's failed to boot.
I took this HDD out of my old PC where it was working fine, Deleted all partitions and formatted with windows install from USB stick. Did a fresh install of Windows 10. After the PC did a restart after installing Windows 10 was the first time it failed to boot. This isn't life-ending, but It'd be pretty lame to have to boot into bios and then boot disk every time the PC restarts.
It's clearly trying to boot from the wrong drive. It's predicted to boot from the 1.5tb storage drive instead of the 2tb system drive. In the bios, the 1500 isn't even an option to boot from and the 2tb is set at the top of the boot order (and is the ONLY item in the list of boot order).
I'm going to bed now but I'll check back here first thing. Thanks in advance to any advice given
