[SOLVED] Some sata drives not detected on restart - Sabertooth x79

4622 Views 6 Replies 2 Participants Last post by  Tyree
I have a new computer here, and an weird software problem. If I boot my computer, it doesn't detect any of the sata drives plugged into the intel ports in Windows 7 (the ones in the marvell ports work fine, where the boot disc is), this includes 3 HDDs and 1 optical drive. They don't show up in disc management, or mounted in explorer.


However, if I enter bios and exit it on boot, even if I don't change anything, it detects the drives just fine when windows starts.

I did try installing / updating the drivers for them from the asus CD, the asus website, and the intel website, none seemed to make a difference.

Any thoughts here? I mean, the workaround of just entering and exiting BIOS is tolerable since they aren't even that important of drives, but its really annoying.

Try using only the Hdd with the OS. If all is well, connect one other SATA device. Repeat the process with each SATA device. If all is well, add one device at a time.
