Off topic, it says, to the left, that I am a new member, that is not really the case

That will change once you hit a certain amount of posts.


The bios should detect ssd and DVD drive providing data cables and power cables are attached to the drives. Try resetting bios to defaults.

Make sure the SATA ports are enabled as well.

Fair enough, I don't post much, been here for a couple of years so it looked odd.

I am sure the SSD is connected because it is lying on the floor next to the open machine with a cheerful red cable plugged into it, but it is dark now, I can't get a look at the DVD, I expect it to be connected, I don't recall disconnecting it, I'd have had no reason too? We are off for Christmas in the morning, so it will be when I get back, which I think will be Wednesday.

You also need a SATA power cable to the drive, so there should be two cables in all

I assume the SATA would be enabled by default. If that is not the case, or there is something worth checking, where do I find that?

In the bios.

And why do you want your account deleted? I am an admin but unfortunately not the forum owner and only he can delete accounts. The only thing I can do is ban your account.

 

[voyagerfan99]

You are an admin, please delete my account.

lol

 

[adrianxw]

>>> lol

I know, you ask an Administrator to perform an Administrator function, and he can't.

 

[johnb35]

Thats because the forum owner doesn't give us regular admins many permissions to do things. I have just banned your account since you felt like you had to delete your posts.
