Re: [H] Can't boot with bad SMART data on non-OS drive

Disconnect drive's data cable, enable hot plug for the port in system BIOS, 
boot system to OS, then plug in the drive. May have to scan for new storage.

And order a replacement.

Of course, and the system boots right up. I can also pop the drive in an 
extended enclosure and it sounds up and is recognized.

But I can't boot with the drive attached, which means I can't run any tools on 
it to try and see if I can fix it.

It just seems weird that it won't boot with a bad non-OS drive.

I think the Gandalf win 8.1 or 10 PE will boot and read UEFI systems. If I
remember right that's what I used to get into the last non-bootable UEFI
laptop I worked on

Did you try turning off SMART in the BIOS?  Can you still do that in UEFI?

Hi Brian,

Have you tried unplugging the bad drive?

[H] Can't boot with bad SMART data on non-OS drive

[Brian Weeden]

Weird problem with my HTPC. On boot, at the end of POST, it gives me an
error about one of the attached drives having bad SMART data, and then the
only option is to hit F1 and enter the UEFI setup. It's a data drive, not a
boot drive, so one would think I could go ahead and continue booting, but I
can't seem to find a way.

I even put in a bootable USB to try and run Spinrite on it, and still get
the same error and the only option of going into UEFI.

Suggestions?

It's an Asus P8B WS LGA1155 mobo with a Xeon chip, normally runs Win10x64.
