Change which drive my computer uses to boot

[talontownley]

I have a Kingston ssd and a WD HDD, I originally loaded windows 7 onto the ssd but the computer wouldn't recognize the hdd. I was recomended to install 7 onto the hdd, which worked now my computer recognizes both drives. The problem is I want to boot off the ssd for speed and now I can't get my computer to stop trying to boot off the hdd. Also I have an msi gaming motherboard and do not understand the new bios.

The easiest way to do what you wanted is to only have one drive installed when you load windows.

I am not familiar with MSI BIOS though if you can find the boot order then arrange your desired Hard Drive to first boot.

Unplug the SATA data cable from the HDD, then reboot the PC. If it boots to windows, then just set the boot order to the SSD.
If it doesn't boot to Windows, Install Windows on the SSD, then set the boot order to SSD before plugging the SATA cable back in on the HDD.

It loads off of the ssd just fine but won't if the hdd is plugged in. How exactly do you change the boot order? Any information on how this msi bios is supposed to work would be great.
