![]() ![]() The only hardware changed has bee the HDD. I have not touched the BIOS since taking ownership of the PC as new a little over 2 years ago - is it possible for it to change itself? I disconnected the drive and booted normally, came online and wrote this. I shut it down and changed the SATA port it was connected to on the motherboard and tried again - same result. I did copy some files across with no problems and all seemed fine. Perhaps I should have re-booted after the format but I didn`t. The options were not greyed out at this point. I formatted the new drive fully - all appeared well. I fitted a brand new drive, the PC booted normally and the drive was not recognised in `My Computer. BUT, if I have a second drive fitted I have a boot problem in as much as the PC wont boot but just sits with a lot of drive activity after the `loading` screen and before the `Welcome` screen. Using Acronis TI I cloned my primary drive to the suspect drive - it boots and runs OK. No I haven`t tried MaxBlast but doesn`t the new SeaTools do the same job? Sometimes a user will find the Extend Volume option is greyed out. Sorry I have no idea how to post a screenshot of Disk Management. To do this, right-click the partition you would like to expand and then choose Extend Volume.
