X51 hard disk not found

Backing up all my files at the moment. My computer needs a babysitter or else it will make an error

Yay! Is it not exhilarating when you are able to access BIOS again?

Personally, instead of having a recovery drive, I'd rather keep a backup of my files and reinstall my system whenever I meet wacky errors.

No, you do not need a recovery partition. Windows 10 key is injected into your mobo. You need your mobo.

Plus reinstalling your system gives you a fresh system. Why not use SSD? Some are on sale right now (ebay).

i can't create a recovery drive anyways alien re spawn won't let me. So backing up files is the only thing. I honestly thought I needed a recovery drive in order to use my new hdd

Well I am backing up everything rn. I would like an ssd sure but I already have the HDD right now. A seagate 2 tb barracuda. And as Far as I know the SSDS are triple the price of HDDS. Like the Samsung 850 is like 300+ for 1 tb

Ehh, samsung SSDs are way overpriced. I'd rather have a Crucial SSD.

all SSDs are overpriced at the Moment. due to high Demend they are even more Expensive right now and it might get even worse until the End of the Year. better wait until the Crisis is over Guys.

good Job with BIOS Reset btw.

How do you do backup? I prefer manual backup.

Copy your game saves, photos, documents, etc. into an external drive. Manually. The rest are destroyed

Still backing up I feel like the WDS is the only option for ssd right now price wise. But hopeful it will actually back up everything this time. I get many errors when I try and backup

I'm letting the pc download everything. Including drivers 

Update. Have backed up and re-inserted my hdd along with an SSD but no bootable devices found and no hard disk found message once again. So I am going to take out the hdd and just start the pc with the ssd connected to see if it boots from there. I went to BIOS and chose to boot from the USB external drive but nothing happened so that's the only option.

Yo I can't like use the other hard drive still can anyone help me out? I've backed up my files in my ssd. I've inserted my other hard drive and tried to boot from ssd but idk what in doing wrong it just won't boot correctly.

It's in AHCI already. The OS should be in the SSD. Just isn't working.

Try to check the boot loader order.

Try to disable secure boot and/or fast startup.

Update your BIOS too.

Make sure you install Windows in UEFI mode.

Lastly, could it be your Intel SATA AHCI driver problem?

I mean, the last option is unlikely. However, during Windows installation, you can update your SATA AHCI controller driver.

Get the driver from Intel.com make sure it is the correct version.

Download the small size one (not an *.exe driver). The drive is in *.zip file and needs to be extracted to an empty flash drive.

Click load driver during choosing Windows partition.

I'll try but I doubt that's the issue
