Disregard, it was the power to the hard drive that was the issue. It is fixed now.]]> Sat, 14 Sep 2019 14:28:20 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=12431&PID=67876&title=asrock-z390-taichi-not-detecting-hdds#67876 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=12431&PID=67868&title=asrock-z390-taichi-not-detecting-hdds#67868 Author: Tegridy

Yes, SATA Controller is enabled, AHCI is the SATA Mode Selection, and still it does not detect the HDD at the bottom of the Advanced screen.]]> Sat, 14 Sep 2019 04:17:09 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=12431&PID=67868&title=asrock-z390-taichi-not-detecting-hdds#67868 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=12431&PID=67862&title=asrock-z390-taichi-not-detecting-hdds#67862 Author: CHnuschti

And of course the setting SATA controllers on top also must be enabled.]]> Sat, 14 Sep 2019 03:04:14 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=12431&PID=67862&title=asrock-z390-taichi-not-detecting-hdds#67862 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=12431&PID=67861&title=asrock-z390-taichi-not-detecting-hdds#67861 Author: CHnuschti

Does not make much sense. Have you verified in the bios that the proper settings were chosen?
In advanced>storage configuration first select the SATA mode to "AHCI". And "third party SATA controller" to enabled, this allows to use the _A1 and _A2 ports.
Then any harddisc attached should be listed in the bottom part. Do they appear there? If yes, but in Win not, then it is a OS related problem.

My motherboard is not detecting SATA HDDs. I have verified that the HDD is not the issue, as it is working on a different PC. The Dr Debug code is A2-A9, depending on which SATA port I am plugging it into.

I am aware of the following rules from the manual:

* M2_1, SATA3_0 and SATA3_1 share lanes. If either one of
them is in use, the others will be disabled.
* If M2_2 is occupied by a SATA-type M.2 device, SATA3_3
will be disabled.
* M2_3, SATA3_4 and SATA3_5 share lanes. If either one of
them is in use, the others will be disabled.

I have an SSD plugged into M2_1, so I am refraining from plugging the HDD into SATA3_0 and SATA3_1.

The same SATA ports that won't detect my HDD WILL detect my Blu-ray burner. The motherboard also detected my SSD plugged into M2_1 with no issues.

I have tried unplugging both the SSD from M_1 and the Blu-Ray burner and plugging in the HDD to SATA3_A1, but it still doesn't detect the HDD.

I have also tried clearing CMOS, resetting all defaults to the BIOS, but still it does not detect the HDD.

Please help!]]> Fri, 13 Sep 2019 15:11:06 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=12431&PID=67843&title=asrock-z390-taichi-not-detecting-hdds#67843
