I have an odd issue here that I can't figure out.

This started earlier today, right after I installed my new sound card.

My SSD is no longer showing in my BIOS boot priority list. However, it still shows under the boot menu, so I can still boot to it fine (I just have to boot into the bios every time..)

The Motherboard is an Asus P8P67 EVO, the SSD is a Corsair Force GT 180GB, and the sound card is an Asus Xonar DX.

Here are some images of my bios...

The "boot menu". All of my devices show up here, and this is how I have to boot up to my SSD (the SSD is on the bottom of the list)

The boot priority menu. Only 3 of my devices are showing up, and the SSD is not one of them.

There is also an "advanced" option which can be used to change the boot order. However, my SSD is not showing up in the list.

For whatever reason I'm not allowed to embed images (I've already confirmed my account)

try removing all the sata sockets and make sure you plug the ssd socket into the intel sata drive, not the oem drive.
if it doesnt work, update the bios too.
then if still no response
if you havent installed ahci mode yet, turn on ahci mode in bios and make a fresh install of windows. this can solve the problem.

I reset the BIOS to the default settings with no luck. I'm not sure if there's even a way to save more than one config in my BIOS. I haven't seen anything related to #2.

I also tried moving the SSD to different sata ports, but that didn't help either.

The only other thing that seems weird is that the drive is showing up with an "A0S0" prefix in the bios, but I'm not sure what that is.
