Hey guys,
Of course I have run into the cold boot issues and have been updating the BIOS all the way to the latest iteration - 1053.
The 6GB/s(non-Marvell) SATA ports - can they/should they be used with 3GB/s HDDs/SSD? I am using both - connected to my boot SSD and the storage HDD. I am wondering if there is a downside to such a config?
I am not seeing my HDD in windows 7 even though it is easily detected in the BIOS and has been previously formatted and used in another windows 7 machine? Should I unplug and goto a regular SATA II port on the MOBO?
