It may be this drive needs special format, by manufacture tool only, to run special 4K partition layout, similar to the the usual 4K we might normally set for SSD/NVME etc (or windows may set for certain drives), but even in this kind of situation it usually causes poor performance not stalled boot.Ĭheck manufacturer page for this model drive and see if they offer a 4K advanced formatting tool, if so, try that and then see how it works as spare/secondary storage

I still say this drive may be faulty, I’ve never ran into any such issue on these boards, unless drive is messed up. If yes, could possibly be some bent socket pins causing this issue. Is this a new to you motherboard, did you get used etc? If not, and you’ve owned forever, purchased new etc, was this always an issue, or only recently? If only recently, did you also recently remove or reseat your CPU? When not booting to this drive, obviously don’t set it first, put your OS drive entry first

The ones right against board are 4/5 and should ideally be used last for CD/DVD or after others are populated)Īdditionally, during any testing of OS install you do on this drive, be sure to set this drive to be first in the boot drive BBS order (boot Option Priorities) on the BIOS Features Page). What SATA Port do you have this drive connected to? Main OS should be connected to SATA0 (bottom set of two, slot against board), so with the other as spare/secondary, connect it to to 1, or 2-3 (upper slots, ports above the ones against the board) Yes, my comment of you create partitions of course meant you need to initialize first I was speaking about several different test scenarios above, and answering your comments at same time as well.

If you do not believe that, try the same on another drive and you will see it works properly without issue. If so, there is something wrong with this drive. Leave Fast Boot Disabled, disable Secure Bootīoot to windows installer, do create anything on the disk selection screen, choose disk and click next. Load optimal defaults in BIOS, reboot back to BIOS, set Win8 (not WHQL), with CSM enabled set storage to UEFI first. Shut down, remove ALL other hard drives, including USB and M.2 or NVME etc. Select disk # (enter the number of the drive shown above at #2, to be the target disk causing issue here)

If you are not sure how to make disk RAW, here is best way, from Diskpart either from another Win7-10 OS install CMD Prompt, or from the troubleshooting section of the Win10 setup disk (choose other, CMD Prompt) then run diskpart as follows, or any time during the OS setup press SHIFT + F10ģ. I’m not sure, since you didn’t say “Windows created” or you created, etc, only created 512000MB was created, without clarification. Was the disk RAW before you ran the Win10 setup? If you are not sure, this isn’t valid test of what I mentioned. You are starting in BIOS by loading optimized defaults correct? If not, you should always do that after each flash of the BIOS, load optimized, then save and reboot back to the BIOS to make any changes you need. But, as a test, I would do this too, to make sure this isn’t causing the issue. This could cause some issues not being there if Win8 selected, but it’s not really what you describe brings to my mind (dying drive). But, as a test, I would do this too, to make sure this isn’t causing the - Other OS is OK too, I only suggested the way I did since you were having issues, it’s all same/same provided you set CSM/UEFI settings similar (Win8 just enables Secure Boot and Sometimes fast boot) With Win10, if you are trying to install, wipe drive completely, then use disk as RAW and let windows setup the partitions, that way there is a small windows partition that holds the boot/Win boot manager stuff. You can confirm GPT how you are setting it up is OK with another spare drive, then you will see something is wrong with this one. I’d run some extended tests on this drive and consider setting up RMA or warranty claim if still under warranty. I’ve ONLY seen what you mention with dead and or about to die HDD/SSD, you may need to replace that drive, that is the only thing I can think of that would cause such behavior Other OS is OK too, I only suggested the way I did since you were having issues, it’s all same/same provided you set CSM/UEFI settings similar (Win8 just enables Secure Boot and Sometimes fast boot)
