[Tonino1970]

Hello, I  need help with Z440 HP workstation, after i have change the mainboard battery and reset it,

But now give me error can't find any driver with OS,

I am using window 10 Pro activated, installed  today to  SSD Samsung PM 981 with Z turbo card G1.

no other Hard drive appear on list for storage, Only this one right now  let me booting only if I change the slot between X8 X16

mean 4th and 5th  PCIe slot. Because on restart by following the update windows it doesn't boot the window anymore  and give me an black screen and intel boot manager then it reboot but for several time do the same back on black screen.

Any help please Thanks

Hello,

When you changed the battery on the motherboard the bios settings were reset to their default values. The first thing to do is to go to the "Storage" menu of the bios (F10 at startup), sub-menu "Storage Options", and look at the SATA mode which must have been set to "RAID + AHCI" (the default setting). If you did not choose this mode when you installed your Windows then this could explain this. Try the other options ("AHCI" or "IDE"...). Then check also the boot disk.

I may be wrong but it's worth a try.
