I have an issue where my computer sometimes reports "no operating system found" and therefore won't boot. When I unplug my secondary drives, it boots fine, and will then continue to work fine when it's restarted with them plugged back in. My computer has four drives, including an SSD with windows on it. Does anyone know what might be causing this? It doesn't happen very often but it's a hassle when it does.

cisco privilege posted:Maybe check BIOS to make sure your boot drive is set to the SSD and not something else. Also make sure you don't have the SSD plugged into any Marvell/etc SATA ports on your motherboard instead of the Intel ports. I checked the boot order and the SSD is first - I take it that's the same as setting the boot drive? As for the SATA ports there doesn't seem to be any distinction on my motherboard, it's just plugged into whatever SATA 0 is. Crystaldisk says that my boot disk is fine, but one showed up with a warning:  is that something I should be concerned about?

Well that wasn't what I was expecting but thanks for the heads-up! I'm cloning it onto a spare drive now. Lucky I had an old external drive to replace it with.
