The boot drive was not detected previously. Nothing to be concerned about unless the problem recurs.

happen again today. seems to occur after main switch off for a while.
need to disconnect one storage hdd, then can boot into bios.
this hdd doesn't have issues from smart readings
issue seems to start after creating a new partition in this hdd :(

A2 is an IDE Detect error code, maybe you want to do a clean install for os.

Try switching this HDD to a different SATA port and use a different SATA cable.
