Hello, so in my PC I've got a 240GB SanDisk SSD as my primary drive now, and a 1TB WD Blue hard drive as secondary. They are connected to my ASRock Z77 Extreme4 mobo. When I turn my PC on, it doesn't boot on its own from the SSD. If I go into the boot menu, I can select the SSD and it boots and everything is fine. But when I go into the BIOS settings, the SSD is not on the list to choose from. Does anyone know why it would recognize the drive in the boot menu but not in the boot order screen?

UPDATE: I did not install windows fresh onto the SSD. I cloned the hard drive to the SSD and then formatted the hard drive.

Its recommended to unplug all other drives when installing windows, just remove the SATA cable from the other drives except the one you want to install windows on, the installer has this very nasty habit of sticking parts like recovery partitions, and boot partitions etc on other drives.
