The message clearly states the issue. As soon as my SSD connects to the slave port, I notice a brief view of the Windows logo before it stops working. I've tested various cables and checked other SATA controllers, but nothing changed. Thanks.

Slave? Refers to the old IDE Master/Slave setup. Didn't realize SSDs were produced in that system... Or is this related to your BIOs? Also, does the Windows installation run on the SSD?

It's a Samsung SSD with data. Probably the BIOS, since it doesn't use UEFI, and it's an older model. Windows is installed on the drive, and it's running Windows 10.

I need to understand two points. First, why are you trying to link it as a Slave? Back in the old IDE days, Slave devices were typically for secondary storage while the Master handled the boot drive. That’s what I recall from years ago. Second, why is your system using an SSD with IDE instead of AHCI? Switching it could cause problems in Windows unless you adjust the registry settings first.

The system originally relied on secondary storage, and I later tried booting Windows alongside OS X—something that turned out to be incorrect.

My machine is quite outdated, featuring the older BIOS setup, and it seems there’s no option to switch from IDE to AHCI.

Port 0 was originally configured for PATA, but it's now working with SATA and the problem persists.

Disconnect the CMOS battery to reset the BIOS. This should resolve the issue. After that, configure the correct settings before starting. I did this on a motherboard with both IDE and SATA ports, using IDE as the primary option. The system wouldn’t boot if the IDE drive was absent.

I attempted a few fixes, and the best approach was reinstalling Windows with the drive connected through port 0. The system worked smoothly now, though one of my other drives still causes crashes. I don’t recall the exact steps but believe it was related to that particular drive.
