Specs:
Windows 10 Asrock Fatal1ty Gaming K6+ Intel 6700k? Radeon R9 390x 32 GB 2400 DDR4<span style="line-height: 1.4;">?</span> Hey guys. So the title basically states the issue. In the BIOS Dr. Debug shows code A6. I have four storage mediums wired right now: 256GB SSD for OS, 500GB SSD for certain Steam games, 1TB HDD from my old rig I built in 2013, brand new 3TB HDD. In the BIOS, I can clearly see all four of these storage devices. In Windows Explorer, however; I see: C, E(system reserved 99.9 MB), F (1TB), and G (500GB). I switched the SATA cable to a different port on the board itself (from SATA3_1 to SATA3_A1). Thinking maybe it was a BIOS problem, I updated to the most recent version (2.70). The manual says for these codes (A0 - A7) to reinstall devices. If it doesn't work, then clear the CMOS and remove all SATA devices. Did that. Still no dice. My next realization was discovered on this page: Is this seriously indicating that the Gaming K6+ doesn't support beyond 1 TB of storage on a single drive? For how much I spent on this motherboard, this is a BIG disappointment.? Does anyone have any answers to alleviate this situation or am I stuck? Thanks for any help I can get. Edit: I just noticed that all of the storage mediums on this list are ssd. Do i need to RMA the 3 TB HDD? I eill do more testing when I get off work later. Any input is greatly appreciated.

The issue was easier than I thought. I need to stop trying to rush troubleshooting before work. The BIOS saw the HDD; Windows' Device Manager saw the device; not listed under This PC...
I needed to format it. Easy fix. No issues with motherboard after all. :) |
