Hello,

I've preformed clean installation on my SSD, however the HDD was connected.

Now I realized that the HDD is the 1st on the BIOS' boot menu, I try to change it to SSD and I receive this;

"An operating system wasn't found ....
Ctrl alt del... "

Yeah.. tried startup recovery stuff.. checked that it's "ACTIVE" disk/partition. doesn't work.
I figure the booting files are stored somewhere on the HDD ..

Is there a way I can move them to the SSD without formatting and reinstalling OS on the SSD ?
* The windows folder is on the SSD.

Had a similar issue on a build last night, I shutdown computer removed the sata cable from the hard drive, turned computer back on (it used ssd on its own and everytime after that) and put itself above hd in priority (obviously since it booted from it) after I restarted with hd plugged in.
