[SOLVED] Debian drive not in BIOS

#1 Post by pawRoot »

Hi

My current config:

1) SSD with Debian Stretch, Legacy mode, Grub2 edited to list Windows 10 aswell.
2) HDD with Windows 10, Legacy mode, with own bootloader.

Problem is, i go to BIOS to set SSD as first boot priority, but it's not there..., to be able to boot SSD i have to press F11 while booting my PC and select it on the list.

This is a weird problem and i'm not sure if it's Debian related or just stupid BIOS.

Any ideas? :roll:

what shows up in bios if you disconnect the hdd?
MSI Z97 Gaming 3
Did you check out this mobo? uefi or other proprietary issues?

Fixed!

I disconnected the HDD, went into BIOS, and suddenly SSD was there

Thanks :)

These msi machines are really awesome I saw three different models the other day side by side. Smoking hot, really nice builds, I'm glad to hear that debian works. I don't know, I sure would like to but wow, that'a lot of cash...

My MSI mobo was advertised as SteamOS ready (which is modified Debian), although i had sound problems with any Linux distro, and even on OS X.
I messaged MSI and they said it might be Realtek fault, anyway i ditched Linux for some time, and months later it suddenly started to work.

Anyway since that time i don't trust them so much :roll:
