BIOS does not see SSD - what to do?

Question

Iron

After a forced reset, the BIOS stopped seeing the SSD drive if the AHCI mode is set. IDE - the disk name is displayed incorrectly, but in the BOOT menu only and only HDD.

Options. Asus P5Q SE2 motherboard, SSD - samsung mz-76e250bw, HDD - STM3500418AS.
On the HDD Win 7, on the SSD - CentOS 7, delivered after Windows, in the bootloader is a partition with Windows. At the same time, the CentOS installer (from a USB flash drive) sees a solid-state disk.

Full format SSD? Or how else to solve the problem?

Answer 1

Oh, I won’t tell you exactly, but don’t format it - it won’t help. I remember on Asus connected SSD evo 980 was the same parsley. In short, it was at night ...)))) But I messed something up with Legacy and secure boot. Dig in these directions. Damn, I should have written an article like this right away ... but the format will not help 100%

Answer 2

Dance Macabre , Pavel Ugryumov , thanks for the answers.
Did the following. To what extent such an operation is incorrect for SSD, I don’t know - I haven’t studied the issue. But I did a low-level formatting of the drive, when installing it into the system unit, I tried to properly plug the cable connector into the motherboard port. The SSD disk appeared in the BIOS, CentOS is reinstalled, everything works correctly.
