I recently added a new SSD to my rig. I installed Windows via a USB stick. Installation appears successful. When I go into the BIOS, I don't have the SSD as a bootable option. Looking at the boot menu, it is not present. When I go to the Advanced Menu, under SATA configuration, the SSD is present, and detected correctly. Thoughts on how to boot from it, or why it won't allow me to boot from SSD?

Hi skujins 
Make sure Bios is up to date, Ensure correct SATA port connection, and check CSM settings.
You will need to enable CSM (Compatibility Support Module) in Bios.

Hi MeanMachine41, thanks for the response. Pardon my ignorance, but I am unfamiliar with the CSM. I noticed an option for CSM, but can't recall if it was set to enable or disable. SATA is connected in port 1, and under SATA configuration it does acknowledge the SSD. On my HDD boot, I can see that Windows recognizes the device properly.
BIOS is up to date. I'll check on the CSM status in the morning, and report back.
