SSD Boot Issues

[spacejamz]

Everything has been great (setup in sig) up until this morning when I booted up and my 64GB SSD boot drive cannot be found.

I go into EFI and my SSD is no longer in the BOOT OPTION PRIORITIES section but it does appear in the OVERRIDE BOOT section and I can boot if I select the SSD drive from there.

The only thing different between my last successful boot and this morning was that I finally got around to re-installing my HP EX470 last night and ran a backup. I cannot imagine that this would impact the ability to boot to my SSD drive though.

This is a Microcenter 64GB SSD drive.

Any ideas?

Edit: I moved the SSD from channel 1 and tried channels 3 and 5 and the same thing happened, so it definitely appears to be the drive and not the board.

If you scroll all the way down under the 4th boot override there is another section thats says something like hard drive bbs properties. They show all your hard drives and you can select Which drive should be you first hard drive. After you make you ssd hard drive the first option then you can scroll back to the top and make it the first boot option.

make sure you pop that sucker up to the latest revision bios (ADATA S599) or else you'll get wierd timing bugs like that. ALL sandforce drives have timing issues. the S599 (G2 mirocenter) is the FIRST drive that i've seen remove all of the major timing bugs. small bugs like WWN duplication and PATA2sata bridge issues still exist in most all sandforce. *sigh* which is why i stick to the tried n true intel x25-m/x25-v

the x18-v 80gb is pretty slick for small laptops
