    Why can't I boot from my sata ssd?


    Just upgrade my mobo and cpu. Took my old sata and put in New system as I wanted to keep everything the same and maybe upgrade to windows 11 on new device. Bios is posting, so I've done everything well in terms of the build, and bios even sees my Sata SSD, but it won't let me boot from it. What can I do? It's an ASUS mobo. Bios has it listed underStorage InformationRAID:INTEL SSDSC2BF256A5 SATA 256GBWhen I see it in other parts of bios while trying to troubleshoot, it says it is AHCI. Don't know if that means anything.Thanks in advance for any help.

    :)

    New SSD wont boot

    Hi John

    Boot into BIOS, is SATA Mode set to AHCI to enable booting from an SSD drive?

    Is the SSD drive set a top of the Boot Priority list?

    Did you try connecting that SSD to the SATA Port normally used by your old HDD?

    SATA SSD and M.2 SSD

    i was with a ssd sata and now i have ssd m.2, i formatted and put windows 11 in m.2, but i did not remove the ssd sata, i can only boot windows with the ssd sata connected, if i remove it windows does not boot to m.2



    obs: windows was installed on m.2 but the ssd sata was still connected, but windows was 100% installed on m.2, is there any way I can set m.2 as primary? (when i removed the ssd sata it did not recognize windows)

    Sorry for my bad English

    Why can't I boot from my sata ssd?

    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.
