I cannot see any disks on my Zenith Extreme. It has worked perfectly for 2.5 years Today after I opened the case to remove a faulty SSD, I put it back together and none of my disks are visible.
- M.2: Samsung 960 Pro, Win 10 OS Disk
- DIMM.2: Two Samsung 970 EVOs (Raid 0)
- SATA6G_4: Samsung 840 2.5"
- SATA6G_6: Samsung 840 EVO 2.5" (faulty disk I removed)
What I believe has happened is that I may have accidentally held the CLEAR CMOS button on the back when I was putting this rather heavy machine back into an awkward under-desk mount after I removed the disk.
I built the machine 2.5 years ago, so I don't remember the correct BIOS settings. Can somebody with a similar disk setup confirm their BIOS settings?
I've reset the BIOS and applied these settings:
Launch CSM: Enabled
Boot Device Control: UEFI Only
Boot from Network Devices: UEFI Driver First*
Boot from Storage Devices: UEFI Driver First*
Boot from PCI-E Expansion Devices: UEFI Driver First*
I can't believe that all my disks have failed in the space of 10 minutes. Or the SATA and M.2 have both failed on the motherboard. I have removed all disks. Reinserted some. Reinserted all. Nothing visible in the BIOS. Booted from WIn10 USB - no disks visible to installer.
It must be some BIOS setting I'm overlooking. If not, what else can I do to troubleshoot? Even with all the NVME's removed, I can't see the 2.5" 840 EVO even to install windows on it. I'm at a total loss!
EDIT: I connected a known-working HDD to the SATA plugs. It doesn't start spinning when I power on. I think this is a power issue. But why the M.2 disks also are not visible???
