New hard Drive

If you have duplicates of hard drives or cdroms,etc. it is hightly probable that your bios has a setting whereby you choose the specific drive and it will even list its serial number. Have you thoroghly checked your bios options to make absolutely certain you do not have such an option? Boot drive is not chosesn by its drive letter. I have such a choice for my 4 hard drives. As for my burners, both show and whichever has the BootCD in its tray becomes the chosen boot device.

 

dbknox, you are right about that. At least I get to boot from one of my DVD drives. I'm thankful for that.

GroverH, I have not checked my BIOS for that specific screen. I will try to remember to check that on my next reboot. But I do remember the boot order screen. As far as optical drives, it just has one listing for CD/DVD drives. And I can set them (together) in whatever boot order I want.
