I have a Dell Inspiron 580s with BIOS A07 11/13/2010.
It works normally with the HDD it has on Windows 10 pro. However, when I replace that drive for a different one the system won't boot. I've tried a Crucial ct275mx300ssd1 and also a Toshiba mq01abf050. The screen goes black and that's it. If I enter the bios they are detected with the appropriate name. If I set those drives as secondary drives, I can use them for back up purposes. I do not want that though, I want to be able to boot on either of them.
Could it be that the BIOS is so old that these newer drives simply aren't compatible? What can I do to boot the computer using my Crucial SSD or my Toshiba HDD?
