Boot securely on version 10 but SATA drives remain inactive during startup.
Boot securely on version 10 but SATA drives remain inactive during startup.
I’m gathering some context for your setup. You’re using a Ryzen 3900x with a Z570 motherboard, running Windows 10 with the latest firmware. Your configuration includes two NVMe SSDs, a spinning SATA drive, and a Blu-ray SATA drive. Secure boot is enabled, and you can boot into Windows to access both NVMe devices. The HDDs and Blu-ray drive are receiving power but aren’t showing up in the OS. You’re considering checking the BIOS settings to confirm the drives are recognized. I had a similar situation and decided to extract data from the hard drives using a USB recovery tool. This process should take a few hours, especially since your drives are older (8 and 7 years). I have a USB universal drive recovery item that lets me connect them and pull the information. In this setup, when mounted through the tool, I can view access and write operations. Are others facing comparable issues? Any suggestions for resolving this? I’ll share more details if needed.
Navigate to the terminal and activate the elevated prompt using Ctrl + Shift + Enter. Input the command to retrieve drive information and view all connected storage devices.
