Windows 10: Cannot boot from SSD through SATA slot

I have been using my Fujitsu LH772 for years. It came with a HDD and I want to switch to SSD recently. So I bought a Kingston SA400 480GB. I cannot install a clean windows 10 by a bootable usb. Since it has only one SATA slot, I pull the original HDD out and insert the new SSD. In the bios menu, my computer can recognize the SSD. However, it only go black after I select the bootable usb to be booted. So I try to install a clean windows 10 by another computer and connect it back to my LH772. It still don't work. I have tried different setting in bios, such as security boot, fast boot, etc. None of them work.


The strange thing is if I connect the SSD via usb, it works!


Could anybody help to solve the issue? Thanks a lot.

SATA HDD recognised as SSD

Just occurred to me. Could it be that the primary boot drive is the Linux SSD. I've got a feeling this could

be the problem. I'm not sure how to configure Windows 10 to boot from the SATA HDD. I will try reinstalling the drivers and look into the BIOS but would appreciate your take on my suggestion.

 

Sata bluray player wont' boot nor ssd

I installed a new bluray player in 5.25 slot , on a asus motherboard ( older but supports all devices allegedly) and while I have no experience with a 'sata' player, with no limiter tab on pin ( back of player, plastic piece), I rebooted after placing in
case,and no boot, as in no bootable device, no OS.

Do 'sata' devices like this, need a 'windows driver to function ?

Is my mother board too old possibly P8h61-M LE/CSM v3.0 ?

Everything else is working fine (getting Newer msi mobo in few days ) but this.

I just told bios to boot from the player first, so why is the bios expecting a 'OS' ??? Odd--

Maybe this bios/motherboard is too old to allow booting from a sata bluray player ?

Even trying to boot from my SSD, either IDE or Ahci, came back with can't find OS.

thx

 

Install ssd directly into open SATA slot on desktop for cloning


I have been replacing the HDD with SSD on machines with only a single HDD Drive so DATA to USB cable is required.
For a desktop with several HDD drives in addition to the Boot drive , I should be able to connect the target SSD directly to an open SATA slot in the Mobo and dispense with the SATA/USB cable ? Maybe I should disconnect the other drives for safety and leave only the boot drive and the SSD ? Any advise.
