When I power on my Dell Inspiron 570 destop PC, it goes fine until it goes to boot and then it says no boot device detected. And then it states the following details:
Sata0: installed
Sata1: installed
Sata2: not detected
Sata3: not detected
If I go into the boot menu it shows the hard drive on SATA0 and if I select it manually it does boot up. Why won't it boot up normally? Also once it boots doing this manual method it won't let me shut it down. Just sticks on "windows is shutting down". In the BIOS sttings it shows SATA2 & 3 inactive. I checked all the SATA cables, tried moving them to different SATA ports on the mobo. Same result only the SATA# would be different that is not detected. I also restored the BIOS defaults. Different forums are saying it is a bad hard drive, but if that was the case, why when I select it manually from the boot menu does it boot up and everything seems normal? Except for it not wanting to shut down.
Thank you for any help you can provide.
