    Can't change boot order

    Not come across this before so I'm a bit stumped...granted I've not spent longer than about 2 mins looking into it though due to a busy weekend

    I upgraded my AB9 QuadGT to the latest BIOS (13->16). Everything is fine except that I can't alter the boot order. All the drives are still there, but greyed out (or blued out to be more precise )

    Whats caused this? Guessing its a simple setting somewhere but I don't have time to go playing currently

    Thanks

    RAID, but it seems AHCI causes the same issue.

    This wasn't an issue in any of the previous BIOS

    AHCI/RAID is broken in 16 iirc.
    Pretty sure that Richh did a fixed version.
