SATA ports not working after windows 10 update
Hello folks,
I cloned my C drive and updated to windows 10 a week ago. Yesterday SATA ports 2 and 3 stopped working (on MOBO gigabyte GA-Z77M-D3H-MVP). I think it is a windows 10 problem because I have:
- swapped my drives between SATA ports. All drives do not work in ports 2 and 3 and they all work in the other ports. So that eliminates the possibility of disk or cable problems.
- checked that all ports are enabled in BIOS, and switched ports 2 and 3 off and on again to make sure.
- swapped back to my old C drive, which is still on windows 7. All ports work fine with win7. I think that eliminates the possibility of a MOBO fault and since everything works with win7 I'm guessing it must be a win10 problem...
It is strange because everything was fine for a week, problem started yesterday with no obvious cause. Anyone got any ideas?
Thanks heaps...
