    Booting from SSD: How to force it in bios


    Hello

    I made a major change where I installed a new motherboard from Gigabyte. At the same time, I re-installed an old hard disk so I can use it for data storage .

    Problem is, that old hard disk had a Win 7 installed and it boot from this one insted of my SSD drive. The SSD drive was already in my machine before the motherboard swap.

    I look up in my bios boot sequence and the SSD does not appear. But it is available from the list when I press the F12 for the boot selection.

    I'm not an expert and I'm a bit (maybe a lot) loss with all these aptions.

    Any help appreciated

    Did switch physically the Sata cable of the Hard disk to the SSD.

I have a USB keyboard. Whenever I boot to my Bios, I have to put a PS2 keyboard on. My USB does not take effect until the screen gets to the Windows logo and it is too late then. Is there anyway around changing keyboards?
