    PC continues to boot from HDD after directing it to boot from Cloned SSD in BIOS

    I seem to have found the solution. I connected the original HDDs to SATA port 5 & 6. Then when I rebooted it picked my SSD to boot from. Everything seems to be working at the moment (other than the SSD not working in slot 1 or 2, but that isn't much of a concern)
