    Cannot Boot O.S. Device Error xc000000e


    Hi,
    Today i connected another hard drive the motherboard , then when i tried to start my PC W10 didnt boot because there was a device Error, it said i had to put the installation image to repair it, so i did the fist step anyone would do, i removed all the data drives and left only the one with the OS connected and then it worked, i could boot normally, i wonder why i cant boot the OS when other drives are connected, is there a fix for this? i dont think its a BIOS issue because it usually selects the OS drive automatically. id appreciate your help.

    Motherboard: GIGABYTE GA-Z77X-UD5H LGA1155
    RAM: Kingston Predator 8GB

    Where did you connect the other drives? The boot drive should be on the lowest numbered SATA port, usually 0.
    Chekc your BIOS/UEFI setup Boot sequence to see what it looks like with just the OS drive and with all drives connected.
