Hi Everyone,
My CMOS batter failed and after installing a new one and entering CMOS in order to make my computer boot up on the right drive (I have 3 hard drive and two of them are for back up, which one has complete operating system)
My Computer did recognize ALL the hard drive on the first page of my CMOS but when I went to the page for boot up sequence of hard drive it only shows ONE hard drive. (Which is the wrong one because it showed my back up hard drive only.
My motherboard has both Serial SATA drive and EIDI, which I have for ports four SATA and two for EIDI, and my new 1TB is SATA and the others is EIDI.
I tried taking out the CMOS Battery while the computer was unplugged and put it back again but had the same result of only where on the first page it recognizes all the Hard Drives but on the boot up sequence page only one of my backup EIDI hard drive with operating system.
Since I did not know how to correct this problem I just disconnected my EIDI cable and it then will but up on my SATA 1TB hard drive.
