Hi,

I marked the "backup mbr" in the the BIOS settings then I clicked the DriveLock tab. I had the option to type a password, but I was not sure to do that, so I clicked ESC to go back. After reboot, I get the message, no boot device found. Hard Disk (3F0).

The pcie disk is not listed anymore in the boot options as it did before. it shows just "SATA0:", and no disk name is listed. When I connect the disk externally via usb adapter, everything is there as it should, it even can start booting. I tried another disk with the same problem. I tried the suggestions in the forum like resetting the BIOS and security options, and even rewriting the BIOS through usb. Nothing would help. The BIOS won't recognise any device on the pcie port. It seems the PCIE port is locked.

Any Idea what to do?
