hi
just picked up this board and 6600K.
Installed windows 7 on SSD, smooth sailing.
after windows setup, I added 1TB HDD and now i can not load windows.
it's saying no boot device found.
when I remove the HDD, windows 7 load fine.

I checked boot order, WD hdd is not even on the list.
I did not touch anything in BIOS.

any idea?

You have to select which harddrive you want to make the bootable drive, then select the boot order. I am guessing when you put the HDD in, it selected that drive as the bootable drive instead of the SSD and couldn't find a bootable OS.

Thank you, i'll check it out.
1TB HDD isn't on boot priority #1 or #2 so I assumed BIOS wouldn't even be looking at HDD to boot.
