    Sorry for problem. Also i have a last question about this. Before it get corrupted to Automatic repair state in 1 boot i was switching few times without problems between UEFI USB KINGSTON to P1 Samsung Evo 250 GB and there was no Automatic repair state. It get to Automatic repair state maybe in my fifth switch. So this can happen randomly? Or issue was elsewhere?

    I'm sorry I just don't know what to say about this last burning question. If it was booting OK from the Samsung, and it wasn't because it was with the USB still actually inserted, I'm mystified. Short of you going back where you were and actually reproducing that behavior and us analyzing what's going on, I've got nothing more to speculate on.

    I mean before it get corrupted with Automatic Repair during 1 boot, it was working fine on P1 Samsung Evo 250 GB ( MBR ) even if i was swtiching between USB UEFI KINGSTON to P1 Samsung Evo 250 GB. It get broken after maybe my 6-six switch from USB UEFI KINGSTON to P1 Samsung Evo 250 GB ( MBR ). Sorry for my bad language , did you understand::)? If you understand do you have idea why it happened after 6 my try?

    No need to apologize for language - you're doing fine. I believe I understand what you're saying. Something has to have changed - either settings in the BIOS or configuration of the SSD or in other devices available for boot (USB drive?) to have changed the behavior you observed. I think that something is something that that neither one of us is aware of. Like I said - unless you are willing and able to go backwards and reproduce the behavior, I don't see how we'll be able to figure out the answer to your question.

    Heh sorry . Hope you are not tired because of me. If i can ask.
    You said about :"Exactly: because you were configured on BOOT screen for UEFI boot and switch to a first boot device that was NOT suitable for UEFI boot (MBR Samsung disk) and Windows was left on its own after boot failure and found an alternative means to boot. Definition of Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting the outcome to change. If you made no change in BIOS to switch to Legacy Boot, you would continually have the failure to boot 1st time and Windows finding a way to boot itself (2nd boot)."


    But this switching was fine between UEFI USB and MBR SSD without problems. It happened i think on my 3 try. So if you have right , why it not make Automatic Repair on 1 try between switch, but on 3 try :)? Damn hope you understand . So thats why i ask about random occur if course this is issue.

    Yes, I still understand your question the same as before - your are trying to rationalize the change in behavior for the P1 Samsung boot but I still can't say anything different than I did in post #34.

    But after formatting to GPT and booting from BOOT MANAGER Samsung Evo 250 GB there is no issues. But i want to know why it happened before:) But its hard to say? I want to know if it was hardware or software issue.

    You already have said, that you have NO issues now. You may never know what caused your problems. Be happy that your Windows is running fine, and please move on.

    Definitely. Reproduce it and we'll figure it out.

    Your primary disk/SSD should be installed UEFI GPT, your storage disk any Logical Disk/SSD can be either GPT or MBR but in a UEFI system your boot Disk/SSD has to be GPT, If you want an legacy system BIOS MBR your OS disk, BIOS all have to be set to legacy BIOS MBR, Logical disk Can be either MBR or GPT if over 2 TB
    On Clean Install on UEFI GPT system it is advisable to disconnect any other hard drive/SSD from your system until your have the OS Installed an booting. this prevents any chance of your boot loader writing to one of the other disk. Preventive action. The Asus Z97 boards will run MBR but you'll have to read your Manual on the board to insure your getting set up correctly. They were deigned to run UEFI GPT not Legacy MBR
