RIght, so I just did a clean install of windows 8 on my SSD(without the HDD plugged in obviously) and formatted my HDD, and I fired up the computer But it only got to the windows loading screen, and stood there, Untill i Unplugged the HDD, then it instantly started up to login screen. I have switched around on the cables, updated, and flashbacked the BIOS, switched the MOBO connector the cables were plugged into, checked the boot prority, I've basicly tried everything I know off. And nothing makes a difference.
I know it's not the HDD dying, because I threw it into my dads, computer, and there were no problems then.
My MOBO is the Asus Sabertooth 990fx R. 2.0
HDD: Western digital blue 1 TB 7200 RPM
SSD: Samsung 840 120Gb
Please help, If you have any questions, throw them at me, I'll be happy to answer them if I can. And any suggestions is greatly appreciated.
