It's been a long time since I've talked to ya'll. I just upgraded to a new rig........ gigabyte Z170-Ultra motherboard with a Crucial SSD and a slave bearrcuda HDD. I have the SSD with Win 10 on it and I cannot do a partition on the HDD thru the Bios. I have searched the wonder web thingy and cannot find an answer to my problem. It does show the HDD in the bios but doesn't let me do anything. When windows is open is doen't even show the HDD connected. Any help will be grateful! Thanks!

I assume they are the same in win10 as 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

I had a 256gb Crucial SSD do that when I accidentally flashed with the wrong Firmware. It was only a couple months old but was giving me problems with the Trim functionality on the newest firmware so I decided to downgrade the firmware. Turned it into a paperweight. Wrote Crucial and explained the situation and they said it was my fault so they were not going to honor the 5 year warranty. It's still sitting in my desk drawer. Still shows the SSD in Bios but can not access it even with the standalone Firmware tool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

Awesome thanks for all the info and I'll hopefully be seeing some of you in BF1 or BF4. I still need to get BF1, is it worth it?
