Mindovermaster Moderator Posted March 23, 2015 Moderator Share Posted March 23, 2015 I ran Gparted on my M100 SSD, but after formatting it and restarting, it pauses on the SSD. I am running in AHCI mode. If I take the SSD off SATA port, it goes fine. Also, if I disable AHCI, it goes fine in detecting it. This is a LGA 775 board. Any clues? If any more information is needed, please ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radium Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Have you updated the BIOS and the SSD firmware? Is the SSD formatted with old MBR or new GPT? What filesystem do you have on it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mindovermaster Moderator Posted March 23, 2015 Author Moderator Share Posted March 23, 2015 I have nothing atm. BIOS is to the latest as it was discontinues long ago. Using the same firmware that came out with it. I don't normally mess with those things. It was formatted MBR. This pose as an issue? I currently have EXT4 on it. I think it's just my motherboard acting up. It has that AHCI BIOS where it looks up the AHCI drive, apart from the normal BIOS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuru Kanagalingam Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Hi If you are saying it works as IDE mode but not AHCI then are are number of reg keys must be changed as well as switching from IDE to AHCI in the BIOS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There might be a bug in the BIOS where it tries to recognize the filesystem on it. Check the file system flags in gparted, make sure it's not marked as bootable.

Mindovermaster Moderator Posted March 23, 2015 Author Moderator Share Posted March 23, 2015 I tried putting the SSD in my laptop, it booted up like nothing was wrong. I take this was my board/BIOS issue. *shrugs* Would it be a good idea to get another 775 board? I've seen ones for ~$20 on ebay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you should look into firmware for the MX100 that might fix compatability issues. Read the changelog if there is any before you update it. Other than that, a new board is probably the solution.
