The long time to boot through BIOS when the drive is connected, etc. It has been running for a few months, but then disappeared after a soft reboot. I have a WD Green 4TB on a MSI Z97 motherboard with i7-4790 cpu. I found this thread while searching for what sounds exactly the same problem.

Anyone have any idea how to resolve this? We are a 6 store VAR PC reseller so it’s something that concerns us going forward.

I’ve personally tested the above components in nearly every permutation possible over the past 2 weeks and the only common items are Windows 10 Creator Edition, Western Digital 2TB Black Edition Drives and GPT partitions. Problem does occur when installed with Creator Edition from the start or if 1607 is used and then allow Windows update to upgrade it to 1703. Nor does it occur if we use a WD Blue, Seagate Barracuda, HGST, or any Solid State Drives. The problem does not exist if we format the drive with a MBR rather than GPT. Gigabyte Z270XP-SLI (Firmware F6 - cannot go back to previous Firmware)Īsus H110M-E/M.2 - (firmware 0404 & 3401)Ĭooler Master 500 watt (also thoroughly tested)

Gigabyte H270M-D3H (1 board with firmware F3 & F5) Gigabyte H270M-DS3H (5 different boards with firmware F3 & F5) So far we have replicated the issue with the following combinations: We have discovered that the Creator Edition in combination with a Western Digital Black Edition 2TB drive will cause the motherboard BIOS to lose the Hard Drive once the reboot command is issued (either via CMD.EXE prompt or through the startup menu.) Once it occurs you must power off the system to get the drive to return. TL DR - Western Digital Black Edition Drive Booting Partitions formatted in GPT Disappear from BIOS after Windows Reboot command is issued when using Creator Edition.
