hello everyone, i just set up my first pc and initially connected two ssds (my windows is on the 500gb ssd and another 1tb ssd). everything worked fine when i started windows. now i’m installing my third storage device—a 2tb hdd—and opened bios. it shows all three drives connected, but when checking boot priority order, only the hdd appears and the ssds are missing. this means windows can’t launch properly. my question is how to move those ssds up in the priority list instead of the hdd. i’m using an x570 gaming edge wifi from msi.

I attempted to remove my HDD, but Windows started right away. I'm confused about what's happening.

It might relate to your motherboard or chipset, as well as the storage devices. You could test by relocating the drives to various SATA ports and experimenting with using one SSD and one HDD.

I replaced the hard drive, booted up the PC, transferred or erased all data from the old HDD to the SSD, and then removed the physical drive permanently. Everything is functioning well now, though I’ve lost two terabytes of storage.
