I have Win10 on a NVME raid as my OS.
This system gets mirrored to a Sata SSD as a backup. When I restart my PC the BIOS sometimes switches boot devices and boots from the SATA SSD. I set it back to "AMD Raid" as the only option and disable the rest. The bios opens up the second slot, puts the SATA SSD as primary and the "AMD Raid" as secondary. I have used Paragon Disk Manager to mirror the drive and it has an option "boot from image" or so - will disable this next time around. But this setting should not mess around with my bios rather the Win 10 boot manager. Bios version is 3.9. Any ideas ? Many thanks Ozo |

This likely has to do with device ID's, when using an M.2, is usually will become disk ID 0, however, as soon as you conenct a ATA device, You will see the ID of the SATA devcie, will become 0, and the M.2 will become Disk 1, this is Windows issue.
And You should not use paragorn, but let the AMD RAID handle this. What You now have is probably a RAID 0 on M.2, and the SATA SSD as mirror, and basically you now have 2 Windows bootmanagers on your system, and it seems it refers to drive ID 0 |

that is nice story posted above, but boot entries are cached in uefi firmware, windows doesnt care about disk numbers, it has its own way to detect drives, the only reason for it to switch order on its own is that there is some issue with nvme drive
that means, you power up PC, nvme is gone (either failed to initialise or just needs more time for raid), boot order switches to sata, then you reboot coz you notice it and nvme reappears there you could probably add second boot entry to your sata drive with easy BCD which would boot from your nvme raid Edited by kerberos_20 - 21 Feb 2023 at 12:02pm |
