Not sure if this is bug or not. I am running the Beta 18 bios.
Ive been using a WDC 250GB for my boot drive for the longest time now. and just got around to upgrading my HDDs in this rig from 2x250GB and 4x500GB (all WD drives) to 4x WD 1TB Tried using one of the 500GB drive for a boot drive. Here is my Problem.
Regardless of the OS i am using, i can install my OS to the drive. but the on the next power cycle the bios fails to boot from drive. i don't get the "BOOT DISK FAILURE" the bios just freezes and at the top screen i get 2 red lines and the Post LEDs read FF. i went back and used one of the 250GB WDC drive and it work just fine and will boot on the next power cycle. I tried using a WD 320GB and its fail on the next power cycle. i can still use any of the drives as storage drives just not as the boot drive. so any drive larger 250GB regardless of manufacture will not boot if use as the boot drive.
I tried looking thou near 300pages for something similar but couldn't find any thing.
