Hey guys. So I've just built my new PC and I'm having some HDD recognition problems. When I got into the BIOS on startup to see the boot options, it's only recognizing one of my HDDs and my optical drive. I've noticed both these drives are using the only 2 SATA cables supplied with the motherboard (SATA III cables I believe?), while the others are I believe SATA I cables taken from an old PC.
Is the reason the computer is not recognizing the other drives because they are plugged into SATA I cables that are then going into SATA II or SATA III ports?
Another question I have is: I want to install Windows on an SSD, though I have a HDD that already has windows installed as well as some of my programs. What is the best way to go about keeping the information on the current HDD with windows, but switching to running Windows from my SSD?
