Anyone else using the biostar J1900NH2 motherboard and cpu and struggling to see the internal harddiscs ?

[k4sh1n]

os level or bios level, my mb and celeron combo are ok.

did u maybe get a faulty port on either of the sata port

[mrjames23]

i can see in bios no problem

i have two machines both new set ups im building same spec mboard ,, same issue

just to shed some light maybe ..

i have tried the same hdd in a external bay connected with a usb and its see's it straight away no problems

[mrjames23]

k4sh1n are you using the same motherboard ?

[k4sh1n]

yup a rev 6 version board, you have anothe hdd u can test in the sata port?

[mrjames23]

i have tried 2 that i cloned will test another on the sata port , but happy to know that the same board for sure works

[k4sh1n]

When you say cloned do you mean the OS, (from a prior install on the J1900NH2 board or another PC?)
Have you tried just a normal drive then install OS (I have openelec running fine from USB stick, frees up the two sata ports for hdd storage)

i am also running the OS on a usb , at the moment i am just trying to re format my hdd to ext3 they currently are ntfs witch apparently is not auto mount like the usb ntfs

[mrjames23]
