Hi
Hi
I would recommend you to check the SATA 1 status in system BIOS, follow below mentioned steps to boot in BIOS.
- Restart the computer.
- As the computer boots, press <F2> when the Dell Splash Screen appears.
- Look for SATA 0 and SATA status.
- Also, I load system BIOS to default. Press F9 to load default and press enter.
- Restart and check how it works.
In case issue still persists would suggest you to run Dell diagnostics, to run dell diagnostics, Turn on the system, press <F12> at the initial Dell logo screen, and select Diagnostics from the boot menu.
Please revert with the results.
