BIOS not seeing replaced HD
I have the Rampage III Formula (LGA1366) motherboard. I wanted a larger secondary HD so I could boot to a Acronis boot disk and place the backup image on the new drive which is a 3 terabyte. I already had a 1 terabyte as the second HD. I replace the second drive with the 3 terabyte. When I reboot the BIOS does not see the drive. When I get into windows I have to go to device manager and scan for hardware changes under disk drives to get windows to see the drive. I did do the disk management, format etc and had no problems getting windows to see it but it does have to be found after a reboot like I mentioned above.
I updated the BIOS from ASUS but it still does not see the drive. If the BIOS does not see it Acronis will not see it so I can't pick the 3 terabyte drive to put the image. Running WIN10 64bit Pro
Any help is appreciated.
