Z97S MSI SLI Kirat edition a2 error?

[MaxTehLegend]

So I recently changed my CPU Cooler, and now I'm getting this weird error where it won't boot and displays "a2" at the bottom right corner, this is a problem as it wont boot and is frozen. I have a temporary fix where I reseat any of my sata cables and it will boot. But this is a temporary fix as whenever I restart my pc it will do the same thing again. A2 error. I've reset cmos, reseated all pcie cables, reseated gpu and no fix. What is the fix for this issue?

PC Specs:

CPU: i5 4690K
GPU: GTX 980TI
SSD: SV300 120GB
HDD: TOSHIBA 500GB
HDD: Seagate 2000GB
Mobo: MSI SLI Z97S Krait Edition
PSU: RM750X
RAM: 4x4GB 2400mhz hyper savage

QUICK UPDATE

After trying to boot into my ssd it comes up with a message saying something like unable to boot press any key to try again or something. Now I can't even boot into windows anymore. I've tried booting into my windows 10 usb stick and it boots. Please help

Hi MaxTehLegend

Qcode a2 is IDE detect so post is not recognizing your HDD and it's probably just a configuration issue.
Go into your Bios and set priority for the drive containing your HDD that has the OS system installed. Disconnect the other drive for the time being, which can be added later.
Check your drive is connected to the correct SATA port, that the SATA cables are functional and ensure your Bios is up to date.

Hey meanmachine thanks for answering

I've made sure my bios priority is set to my ssd. And took out my other harddrives and it boots. And my motherboard bios is up to date and I'm sure my drive is in the right sata port.

My next question is, how do I fix this so I can use my other drives?

Set the DVD or USB as next in Bios priority and your HDDs down the list and add them one at a time.

hey MeanMachine

ive just remembered. about a year or so ago my 500GB harddrive that i got from an old pc that i had i salvaged and turned out it did have bad sectors. that probably was the problem. ive taken it out and there are no more problems with booting anymore. that must have been the problem that was causing all this. i was so oblivious of how dangerous it is to have bad sectors for a harddrive. thanks for all your help.

You can fix those bad sectors. run CHKDSK /r /f on the HDD that has the bad sectors. This will fix and repair any bad files or drive errors on your next reboot.
