bios settings ?

hi folks,ive now ordered the right m2 ssd for my alien thanks to you guys helping me out,i still cant get the 1tb working just to tide me over till i get the new ssd and think its not set right in the bios ? what settings should i be on as i done restore defaults but it wont boot into windows,if i press f12 go to enter setup the fixed hd is there st1000lm024 hn 1000gb but im still getting error PXE-MOF EXITING PXE ROM ?

if the cable is not plugged back to board properly then it wouldnt be showing up in setup would it ?

still learning my way around this thing im not a computer genius i fit windshields for a living !

gonna scrub this drive anyway when the ssd comes but its annoying me why it wont boot windows on the 1tb as its installed on there before all my problems started

 

Go into the bios and boot settings and enable UEFI and Secure Boot

 

i have secure boot enabled
legacy options roms disabled
boot list option uefi

sata operations is intel smart response
boot option 1 onboard nic ipv4
boot option 2 onboard nic ipv6
option 3 windows boot manager (disable)

its saying no bootable device f1 to retry f2 setup f5 onboard diagnostics

 

Try disabling secure boot and enable legacy options nad when the laptop is turned on press tap f12 the boot selection menu should come on if there is windows boot manager select it else try selecting the hard drive

 

Here are the settings of the R2 model. Sata operation can be set into raid mode as well if AHCI fails.

 

tried both and still no joy ! comes up selected boot device failed for uefi options windows boot manager
legacy options comes up check cable connection PXE-MOF

i hope the 1tb is ok after pulling the cable of board

mine has not got raid mode under sata operation

this is not an ssd remember,ive got that coming next week but im trying to get this working for now and hoping the 1tb is not canned

dont mind scrubbing this as i have the backup on usb stick that i done before my problems

 

Turn uefi on. Download and usb win10 installation and check if you can install it on the 1tb drive.

 

gonna try it now

got a alinware backup windows on usb but will download a full one to see if i can pick to install to 1tb

yes its found the 1tb and installing now but windows 10 is not free anymore so hopefully i can put my backup alienware usb when i get the ssd

glad to see 1tb is ok though,need that for games and stuff

 

The windows key is stored in the system bios. So you can always reinstall it.
