Dual-Boot 10 and 7,... 7 won't boot
Below is a listing of my rig's internals. This was my umty-8th build 6years ago, with the Crucial M4 SSD and the Program drive and the Backup drive. The 1TB game drive was added about two years ago.
Note: This rig has been nothing but fast and trouble free. Also, I build and service for all my friends and family since Win95. Have been using since 1985.
A year ago I bought Win 8 on sale and was waiting for the price on bigger SSD's to come down, and for Win 10 to get the bugs out.
Finally got a "deal", if you call $90.00 for 250gigs a deal, on an 850 Evo and tore into it.
Disconnected all drives and hooked up the 850 Evo. Installed 8, upgraded to 10 ( found out later didn't need that step), Did clean install of 10 from USB. All easy, 10 working fine with all updates.
Hooked in all my other drives, and I can't boot to my M4. I CAN boot to the game drive with Win 7.
E-Z BIOS does not list either the M4 or the 1TB game drive. Advanced mode lists them all and I can boot to the game drive from there. However, If I try to boot to the M4 (which I've used for 6 years), all I get is a black screen with the white flashing dash at the top left. If I boot to either the Evo or the game drive, I can access any file from the M4 with no problems.
UEFI-Advanced_Boot, does not list "Secure Boot".
Going into Recovery, can not list the UEFI settings.
If I disconnect all other drives, Still no boot.
Have been busting my brain, and Google for 3 weeks now, and I need that drive to work.
Any help PLEASE.
