Ok, that was a very confusing topic. Let me try and explain it better.
I had Windows7 installed on a Velociraptor long ago. No problems.
I decided to get an SSD, so I got a Samsung 830 about a month ago. I did a fresh install of W7 onto that. I noticed instead of booting directly into it, I get the windows boot manager asking me which OS I want to use, and the SSD is the second option. I shrug, change it in windows to point to the SSD install and forget it.
So, today I decide the SSD is solid and I'm going to pull the Velociraptor for something else. I do so. Now I can't boot to the SSD.
1.) I have a 680i SLI, which has no AHCI support
2.) The bios sees the SSD as a drive, SATA3
3.) I changed the boot priority, it just skips it like it wasn't there
4.) I tried turning RAID on and off for that sata port, no difference.
5.) I tried win7 startup repair. It does not fix it. When I hit the button to look for drivers, when I browse I do see the SSD from within that.
Kinda stuck at this point, and would appreciate help.
