How to set boot order in Sabertooth X79
I have a Asus Sabertooth X79 motherboard in my current
homebuilt system, and have two Western Digital 2TB Black harddrives with one used to boot my Windows 7 64-bit. When I do a cold boot the bios boots the wrong drive and fails to boot, and I have to get into the bios to make a temporay boot order for the P1 patiton on the proper drive but this change is not saved; the bios just boots directly in my Windows with no opportunity to save the proper setting. I've looked through the whole bios checking all pages for the boot order other the Ezy Mode setting to set my optical drive before the harddrive, but it doesn't let me set which disk comes up when the drive is listed, and Boot page in the Advanced has no setting for drive order. The motherboard paper manual has no mention of it either and I couldn't find any info on Asus website either. Even a restart of Windows runs into the same issue. Herb |

Herb I see at least the latest manual, the screenshots are now readable. The early version of that manual, each screenshot was a blur. It's a good thing I checked for an update to the manual. http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/...RTOOTH_X79.pdf Try page 92 (3-30), look at "Hard Drive BBS Priorities". There is no explanation section in the manual (as you'd expect). So you'll "just have to wing it", as they say in China when they write these manuals. It could be a means of setting boot priority of hard drives, but who really knows. Paul |
