Hi guys,
So a quick background here. I went from using a normal HDD with windows 32 bit os and unplugged it while I installed 64 bit windows os on my new SSD (samsung 840), booted up no problem after setting the sata controller to AHCI and shut down to put my hdd back in as a storage drive, not yet wanting to format the drive just *incase* I have any issues with my ssd I can still use the pc via the hdd. Booted up fine however it was running in IDE
So, I used the regedit suggested by windows of setting the value data box to 0 and it caused a bsod, I then read that I had to do the regedit for both the ssd and hdd so I did, which lead to no problems booting up and running AHCI just fine.
However, the only way I can force my computer to boot using the ssd is to hit F12 for boot menu and select it, it is not an option inside my BIOS and by default, every time, it will just boot from my hdd unless it's not plugged in, in which case it'll boot the ssd. When it boots from hdd (as always if not using f12 menu) it'll show the ssd as drive E, effectively everything works ok but having to hit f12 every time I boot up or restart to select the boot device is going to get tedious
Just to elaborate what I mean by it not being an option in the bios, I have the Gigabyte H55M-UD2H motherboard and the only boot devices that are displayed in the bios are Floppy, LS120, Hard Disk, CDROM, ZIP, USB-FDD, USB-ZIP, USB-CDROM, USB-HDD, Legacy Lan. With Hard Disk selected it'll behave as described above. To clarify, the only way I can appear to chose to boot from the ssd is via the boot menu (F12)
Is there any way I can properly set it so the ssd is the primary boot device? Baring in mind I don't want to format the hdd at the moment

Changing Ssd To Boot Drive
Change Boot Drive To Ssd
One drive is a 1TB HDD spinner for 'data' (where I've placed partitions E and F for 'data), and the second drive is a 256GB Samsung 970 EVO M.2 SSD (where partitions Windows C and 'data' D live, along with a small 'system reserved' for Boot Manager and some unallocated space for Samsung Magician to use for 'over-provisioning'). Once the process completes, restart your computer and in BIOS, just change the boot order to SSD. When windows boots from SSD, just format your HDD partition where Operating System is lying.
