I just setup my new rig last night.
I apparently jumped the gun, for setting up everything with UEFI Boot.
I already installed windows 8 on my 120gb samsung SSD and I setup my 1TB HDD for storage. I tried to setup UEFI boot afterwards and realized that I jumped the gun by installing windows normally after I read a tutorial for setting up UEFI Boot.

My question is, can I reinstall windows 8 on the ssd using the UEFI boot or is it too late since I already installed it? And yes, my motherboard and gpu are UEFI ready.

I was going to use this guide:

my build:

Intel Core i5-4670K 3.4GHz Quad-Core

Corsair XMS 8GB (1 x 8GB) DDR3-1600
