Hi,
I just recently upgraded my Mobo and CPU to an Aorus Gaming 7 and Intel i7-8700K. Currently running Windows 7 Ultimate 64 and plan on upgrading to Win10 when I get some business details in order. All seems well with my current setup except for one thing; I have two WD internal HDD's connected to the on-board SATA ports on the board, and neither are showing up in BIOS or Windows. Bios reads "not installed" for each SATA port the drives are connected to. These drives work fine when connected by same data cables to my previous board which is now being used in another room. That board is an ASUS Sabertooth z77.
The Aorus also has an SSD and optical disc drive connected to the same SATA "block" and are both working fine. I've checked BIOS and the SATA ports that house the HDD's are both enabled.
I've sorted out all driver conflicts I initially had in Win7 when I first installed the new board. I've also verified both HDD's are powered on and spinning. Motherboard just doesn't see them.
In the past when I've encountered issues like these I simply go into BIOS and enable the SATA ports/drives and all is well. With this, I'm not seeing anything else that needs tuning. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
