I can't see my SSD as bootable option in BIOS


I cloned my hard drive to an SSD. The next step would be to make the SSD bootable.


How do I verify if SSD is bootable or not? It's active. It's system. How do I make it bootable?


Why BIOS do not recognize the SSD as a bootable option? What should I do so it is?


The SSD is currently drive E under the windows operating system I am in. I just want to boot from that SSD.


Acronis OS selector also can't detect an operating system in the SSD.


Not hyper-threaded
Board: ECS H61H2-M12 1.0
Bus Clock: 400 megahertz
BIOS: American Megatrends Inc. 4.6.4 08/05/2011

Answer



Assuming the BIOS lists "Hard drive" as a boot option, there may be another BIOS settings that lets you order the hard drives. Whichever one is set to to the top will be the "Hard drive" used in the boot order selection.


This is based on the assumption that you have desktop board that performs this way, but it's hard to say for sure based on the info you've provided (so far). To get a more accurate answer, perhaps edit your question to add your motherboard make/model, current BIOS version, as well as describe what boot options are available.
