Waco Posted February 4, 2012 Posted February 4, 2012 So I've decided computers suck...and I can't even use mine ATM so I jacked Waco's computer. It started with simply setting up my old AMD rig last night so that I could have a separate work rig while I still have my review rig -- therefore I can bench and still do HW and other stuff at the same time. Anyway, that wasn't really the issue. Setting up the review rig with an SSD for windows and an SSD for games was...I was going to install Civ5 today and play. So I walk back turn on my rig, hummm where is the D drive with steam and my other install files -- yea it didn't come up with windows. Unplugging and plugging the drive brought it up no problem, so I figure it's a fluke. Nope -- it won't boot both drives with windows. I already took the old 80GB drive out that I thought was causing issues, but no the problem still exists. So it's been about 4 hours since I wanted to play Civ5 and I still don't have it installed.

Waco Posted February 5, 2012 Posted February 5, 2012 (edited) Hummm...after I post this -- I finally figured it out. I bet NONE of you will guess what it is...at least I can do some stuff now... EDIT: This was BluePanda again, if you hadn't figured that out. Edited February 5, 2012 by Waco Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waco Posted February 5, 2012 Posted February 5, 2012 (edited) This is Waco again, I have my computer back. This is by far, the weirdest bug I've ever seen. I'll let a few of you guess before I say what it was, but here are the symptoms: On boot, only the OS drive would show up in Windows. Hotplugging all remaining drives made them show up just fine. After they showed up, they'd work perfectly, no errors, nothing abnormal. After a reboot, the drives would be missing until hotplugged again. Guesses?

bp9801 Posted February 5, 2012 Posted February 5, 2012 I bet it was something simple, like not assigning it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

scr4wl Posted February 5, 2012 Posted February 5, 2012 Nope. It's a bug...and a weird one at that. Some kind of bug due to something completely separate from the drives? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluePanda Posted February 5, 2012 Posted February 5, 2012 Some kind of bug due to something completely separate from the drives? Nope -- it was definitely a drive related issue. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
