Unable to change the priority order of my disks

Solved

Hello, I bought an SSD, installed Windows and everything was fine until I restarted my PC and realized that my old disk was prioritized and was making my PC crash. I found the solution, but each time I start up, I have to go into the BIOS to boot from my SSD. When I try to change the boot priority, my SSD doesn't show up (see image; the photo isn't very clear, but I assure you that my SSD is not recognized). However, Windows recognizes it, and I can boot from it (my hard drive is connected to SATA 1 and the SSD to SATA 3).

Any help would be appreciated.

    Hello, I'm getting back to you. You simply had to go to UEFI Hard Disk Drive BBS Priorities and choose the desired disk, then it shows up as boot option #1. In conclusion, you can only select one disk, which is really not practical.

    I still want to thank you :) .

      Nope,

      Multiboot allows you to choose which disk to boot from independently of the BIOS options, but it involves editing the BCD.

        And what does it change?

        That the choice is offered to you at startup instead of having to search for it manually in the BIOS.

    Hello, thank you for your quick response. I haven't tried your software yet, but I plan to do so tomorrow. There's nothing left on my old hard drive, neither OS nor files; everything is on my new SSD. I want to clarify this in case it should change the plans. (I looked at the link you provided; I didn't fully understand it. Could you explain it to me? Because from what I understand in the document, it's only for several recognized OS, but I just want my motherboard to search for the OS on my SSD without having to boot manually.)

      If I understand correctly, the BIOS sees it just fine, the disk (the motherboard has nothing to do with it) but does not respect the boot order, which continues to indicate that the boot sector might be corrupted, and thus continue to check via the bcd edit how many disks are registered at startup and in what order.

      Without familiarity with the matter, it is easier to manage in a graphical bcd editor, one of the last 2.

    Yes, that's it, but your graphics editor, if I understand correctly, is intended for several OS installations because in your link (the first one) there is a tutorial for a dual boot case and the second link is what I'm looking for?

      No,

      Whether we use the command line or the graphical interface, the more capable can do the less: in any case, we will be able to verify that the history hasn't created a dual boot entry (which will then need to be deleted), but we can also correct a single one if it is defective.

      If we want to avoid jargon, the graphical options of, for example, Easy BCD are easy to implement; we need to visualize the booting and edit it if it is not compliant.
