Hi Guys,
I just migrated my Windows 8 OS into my SSD. I disconnected my HDD and replaced the HDD port with my SSD. I turned on my computer and it worked great.

I have yet to add back my HDD. That will be a different question on a separate thread.

My Asus has the new UEFI bios interface.
When I go to Easy Mode, I only see my new SSD icon and not my CD/DVD icon.

Question: Where is my CD/DVD icon?

I want to put my CD/DVD 1st then my SSD 2nd in my boot priority.

Note: Prior to installing my SSD, I had the same issue BEFORE. So, my not having my CD/DVD icon has nothing to do with my SSD just being added. I should also mention that my CD/DVD shows up perfectly on Disk Manager with a drive letter. I also looked in the boot priority list on the Advanced tab and still do not see anything regarding my CD/DVD boot order.

Can anyone please help?
Thanks in advanced.

To get the ASUS X55U to boot first from the DVD drive do the following:

Press “ESC” or “F2” to enter the BIOS setup
Under the “Boot” tab, enable “Launch CSM”
Under the “Security” tab, disable “Secure Boot Control”
Save the changes and exit
Press “ESC” or “F2” to enter the BIOS setup again
Under the “Boot” tab, the DVD drive and available flash drives will appear. Set the DVD drive as the first boot option.
Save the changes and exit

Now the X55U will first attempt to boot from the DVD drive. Moreover, if the boot menu is accessed, the DVD drive, hard drive, and USB flash drives (if detected), will appear as boot options.

When I reboot, my computer is now asking me to put in a cd to continue the start up. I am getting closer.
