Dear ptselios,

You cannot switch off SATA or M.2 in BIOS, UEFI will alwys look for a boot device, and usually that is Windows bootmanager.
Other option is, to use f11 to get into the bootmenu, and select the proper device.
Or use a mulitboot environbment, and this info can be found on internet]]> Wed, 13 Jul 2022 22:29:38 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=24600&PID=100563&title=disable-sata-and-nvme-portspound#100563 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=24600&PID=100218&title=disable-sata-and-nvme-portspound#100218 Author: ptselios

Hello,
I got a Steel Legend B550 along with a Ryzen 5700G.

I need to setup various OS at various points and most of the setup is automatic. I use a removable HDD for this purpose. However, in order to protect my data on the machine, I need to disable the 2 installed NVMes as well as the 2 SATA drives I have on this board.

I didn't notice any relevant option, so I wander if it is actually possible to disable NVMes and SATA ports.

Any help would be appreciated. ]]> Fri, 03 Jun 2022 18:02:20 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=24600&PID=100218&title=disable-sata-and-nvme-portspound#100218
