Question SSD does not appear in BIOS

[ss980p]

I purchased a 980 pro ssd and installed windows on the drive. I have the option to select from either windows when booting as it is now installed on two drives... but bios does not recognize the SSD. It shows in disk management and I can boot with it when selecting the appropriate windows.... but I cannot set it as the primary boot as it simply does not appear. I have tried to reassign letters, change to legacy, etc... any idea what I am missing?

edit: for whatever reason it is now showing in the bios menu, however, when I remove the other ssd with windows installed I get a black screen while booting that says:

"Checking media presence
>media present
>start pxe over ipv4"

and then straight to bios, and repeat if you save & exit

boots fine when other ssd is installed

The windows installer doesn't always work perfectly if you have more than 1 drive connected at installation time. It would probably be easiest to disconnect your old windows drive, along with any other drives, and reinstall windows on your new drive. After installation is successful you can reconnect all of your old drives.
