I wonder if your Bios battery could be dead or dying. Something like that can cause computer dementia. ¯\_(?)_/¯


True. If dead it would likely ask for a date and time, but the BIOS
found his drive, showed up again as the master when he hit DEL into
the BIOS.




I'd correct the settings in the BIOS and if they don't stick, then it's
time for a new CMOS battery
