Old Hard Drive Failed, New one broke the system

[BigTechDaddy]

I had a 4TB WD HDD that I was using, and a few days ago the boot slowed down a lot.

It takes around 20 or more seconds to get to this first failure screen (see attached) .

From there it boots into bios and it wants me to do something, I'm not sure what, it just looks as if I opened bios normally.

If I exit without saving changes then it boots up the OS no problem.

 

But every time I restart the same thing happened.

 

That's when I got the ironwolf 4TB, and copied the data over from the failing one.

I plug it into the PC but it gets stuck on the tuf screen (see attached) for around 30 or more second, then it bring up the no media screen (see attached), and then it boots into bios.

 

On the times when I boot with the failing HDD then I can see my SSD, my backup and my failing HDD. but when I boot with new ironwolf it fails...

 

I was able to hotswap the HDDs when I was logged in, since the OS is on the SSD, and I Was able to initialize and format the ironwolf and copy over the data from the backup drive.

 

Now each time I boot with the ironwolf and SSD I just keep getting sent back to BIOS.

 

Please help, I've spent days on this and still can't figure out how to turn on my computer normally

I would start with re-flashing the BIOS

Check that the WD drive is removed from your boot list in UEFI, only your SSD should be there.

Also, there is no OS on the HDD right? Even on the old one?

Can you boot with no HDDs plugged in and only the SSD?

WD drive has no system on it, iron wolf doesnt have one either, everything is on the SSD.

When I only plug in the SSD I can't see it for some reason

Like you can't see it in the UEFI or you can't boot windows?
