Barry Allen Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 My 60GB Force GT which I use to boot to Windows 7 will not boot with a partitioned hard drive. The funny thing I have been using this setup on a MSI MB for a while which worked perfectly, but I upgraded the CPU and had to buy a new MB a Gigabyte Z87-D3HP. The SSD works OK on its own, but soon as I put a hard drive in a lower priority the booting to Windows 7 it fails. I took the MB back to the suppliers and they tested it with other SSD cards and they said it work/booted OK with my hard drive but not my SSD so mine must be at fault. I cannot understand as it worked on another system with similar set up. Also it will boot OK with a un partitioned hard drive.:confused: Anyone had similar problems or any idea for a solution?

sandstorm1 Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 was the 2nd hard drive use once a boot drive? i had a issue with one hd (non ssd) where when plugged in would not allow windows to boot. i believe you need to erase the partition and re format it..(not the ssd one) someone else know this for sure?

Barry Allen Posted October 18, 2013 Author Share Posted October 18, 2013 I erased all the partitions on the hard drive (it was used as a boot disk once but worked OK on the MSI MB with an AMD cpu as the D Drive even with Windows on and the SSD as C drive). Once the hard drive was clean it booted OK but soon as I put a partition on it albeit nothing loaded on it on re booting crashed. PS the cpu is a i5-4670K Haswell.

Yellowbeard Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Secure erase the SSD using Parted Magic or the Corsair SSD Toolbox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
