More often than not, i am able to figure a way around most technical issues that crop up. This time, however, i am 36 hours in to my new Intel SSD (http://bit.ly/12nMICr) and so far i have performed the following actions on it. (Btw, i will continue to enlist my old HDD for game storage, etc.)
1) Installed Windows 7 from install disc and used activation key; everything good so far.
2) Installed some basic programs and anti-virus software that i want on my SSD.
3) [this is where the fun begins] Turned off comp and mounted old HDD so i could transfer all my steam games from backup external drive. Upon rebooting, i received a black screen with the error message as shown in title.
4) However, i can boot fine to my SSD if and only if I select 'Boot Manager' under my bios boot options.
TL : DR What do i need to switch around in Bios (assuming thats where the problem lies) so i do not have to [F12 -> Boot Manager] every time i restart?
Thanks! Let me know what other information i can provide.
