Hello!
I have an Asus G551JM notebook with preinstalled 1TB HDD + an optical drive. I have replaced the ODD with a 60GB SSD and here's whats happened: (a bit complicated)
1. I placed the HDD in the ODD bay, and placed the SSD to the HDD's original place. (I thought it's better if the windows is connected via the "legit" SATA)
2. I installed windows 10 onto the SSD. It created an 500MB "boot" partition as always, however it did not created that from the SSD but the HDD.
3. This resulted in that I had to boot from HDD instead of SDD, but that wasn't a problem for me. But the bios did not recognise the HDD in the ODD bay. (it was missing from boot options).
4. On first bootup (cold boot) it always said that no boot media found, so I had to force shut down, and on the second boot up it automatically booted from the HDD correctly. Windows started and everything was fine.
That is my problem I wish to solve, the inability to cold boot.
5. For that I should make the boot partition from the SSD, but I don't know how.
6. I was trying switching the storage devices, and it seems that it always creates the boot partition from the one that is in the ODD bay. (it's a miracle to me why)
7. So if I put the SSD in the ODD bay, install windows on it, than switch it with HDD everything is fine: boot partition on SSD, bios recognises SSD, successful cold boot
My question is if I can solve this problem without switching the storage devices on every reinstall, because I do it relatively often.
Thanks for your answer in advance.
