Hi everyone,
I've searched around and can't see to find a solution (or this problem) anywhere. Yesterday I installed an SSD to use as my primary drive with my HDD to be used for larger files. With both drives connected, I installed Win8.1 from a USB to the SSD. The installation went well, but I couldn't seem to change the boot order to boot from the SSD. The SSD was recognized in other areas of the BIOS, but specifically not Boot Order. I run an HP ENVY desktop.
I went ahead and just booted anyway, and I got a Win8.1 screen asking me to choose an OS. It had two options, both said Win 8.1, one with partition 7 and the other was partition 4. Partition 7 was the OS installed on the SSD and the Partition 4 was the HDD. Everything seemed fine but whenever I would attempt to boot, it would get stuck at the HP logo, and I had to reboot the computer, go into BIOS, exit BIOS, and only then would it boot to that "choose OS" screen where I would choose the SSD and finally boot properly. This morning it booted straight to the "Choose OS" screen, but I still want to try and figure this problem out.
I already tried to choose a default OS, but the OS on the SSD is already set to default.
Any help would be very much appreciated it. Thanks!
