One of my hard drives started to fail (using 100% of the drive when accessing anything) and I recently purchased another drive to back up the media from the failing drive. My OS is on a separate ssd and is first on the boot order. The pc posted a few times but required the failing drive to be connected but now it won't post at all even when it detects the drive.
What I have tried so far is...
Rebooting with c drive as the it drive connected.
Connected failing drive and c.
Just failing drive.
Pretty much all combinations (5 drives total, 2 ssd 3 hdd bad drive is one of the 3.
Disconnected and reconnected sata cables/swapped new cables.
Cmos reset
Removed all usb attached devices.
Changed boot order.
None of these worked.
P.s. typed this up on mobile and boy was it annoying with autocorrect.
