Disconnect the drive that does not have the os on it , what happens? Can you boot to the windoze set up disk?

Yeah -- that would say something.

Just casual observance, but this whole notion of a "PC" was a modular design approach that offered flexible benefits. If his onboard SATA controller had gone south, you could get "extended life" by turning it off in BIOS and putting a PCI-E x4 4-port SATA controller in there for maybe $60. But we're "not there yet" until something proves the controller to be "out of order."

Are you booting windows from the hard drives, or do you have a seperate disk/ssd for windows 10?

I had an issue like that with my ASUS X99-a/USB 3.1 board. It worked perfectly fine booting Windows 10 from my M.2 PCI-e SSD one day then the next it would completely refuse to boot.

No amount of CMOS resets or bios stuff made it better. I eventually figured out that disabling the CSM (Compatibility Support Module) allowed it to boot again, and I have no explanation for why it suddenly changed one day.

Fast forward to today, after some bios updates it works with CSM enabled again. Weird.

My thread in case it helps you out any.

hello everyone, thanks for your help. but i found out that hard drive was dead in which the os was installed. i tried to install fresh windows but it could not let me. so i disconnected the os hard drive and kept the second one plugged in. the windows file loaded properly. I got a new ssd and installed windows and the system is good now. i tried to connect my previous os hdd but it freezes windows and does not open at all. is my hdd officialy dead. and what was the cause?

Drives degrade and die over time. It happens.

Was it a Seagate? Do you recall the make and model? 3 months is a very short lifespan, but some of the drives these days just don't last very long, particularly the cheaper ones.

it was western digital 1tb hard drive. i had seagate before which is at 9% critical condition. i bought wd and its dead sooner. now im back to seagate which is still surviving. question is, how did it just die? im in fear that my new ssd face the same fate

Which WD was it? The WD greens are pretty bad IMO, the blues are ok. The WD blacks are what I would recommend for a HDD, they have a 5 year warranty.
