Hi, I'm kinda new here and was hoping some people in the forum might be able to help me out with a small issue. My hard drive seems to need extra time to power up. Bios would not detect it when I use quick boot, but when I disabled it, my system now checks the ram and the extra time it takes to do the ram check seems to be what the drive needs to power up and get detected by the bios.
The reason I think this is because the hard drive always has this problem with a cold boot but the bios always detected it after a warm restart when the drive is already spinning/powered up? Below are my basic specs:
Opteron 170
Asus A8N5X
Maxtor 300GB Sata drive
Antec Earthwatts 500W
2 Gigs DDR ram
Has anyone encountered this? I'd like to keep my computer in quickboot if possible cause I hate waiting for the ram check to finish. Thanks in advance
