So I had this 'not booting from SSD' problem. A few months ago I installed a couple of SSD to boot and run the new computer much faster than the Disk Drive that it came with. A few weeks ago Windowz updated and reverted back to booting via the Disk Drive. For whatever reason I could not re-sign the boot sequence. Aaron should know, but all I got from him was the take it to the Geek Squad at Best Buy! I know I have mentioned that I hate Windows, but have I mentioned that I don't like Best buy either! It's a long story, but they made me mad.
Yesterday I had all but given up and was ready to take it to local computer shop, but before unplugging it, thought I would try swapping cables on drives, (it use to work years ago). Well that doesn't work now. Then later I thought 'unplug just the Disk Drive to see if the SSD would boot... it did. Re-plugged the disk drive. At power up, it booted to the SSD, like it should have all along. I don't know why or how, but it works properly now. It wasn't my fault. Did I mention that I hate Windows, and Best Buy?
Then it would not connect to the internet! After saying a few chose words about Windows, I remembered I had net problems a couple of weeks ago. The ISP installed a new antenna. We also discovered that the router was acting up and it too had to be replaced. No problem, I had an extra one from trouble shooting the last net problem we had. So, after entering the password for the new router, things worked out fine.
By this time my brain is starting to hurt so I decide to go out and gather up all the used oil and head off to recycle it. Truck tire rotate and balance, which is due, and a hair cut will be later in the week.
