never had this problem pre-ssd. works fine when i unplug the external, but when its plugged in, there is no option to boot to the ssd in the bios, but it is recognized
something to do with usb detection turned in your bios, legacy something?
i dunno mate, just trying to helpful but actually being unhelpful and wasting your time.

you should be able to modify the boot loader for win7. unplug the external drive, boot into windows, and launch bcdedit from the command line. i'm currently sitting at an XP system, so i can't help with exactly what you need to do next, but it involves setting the proper drive as the windows boot drive... hopefully some others can add the next steps.
what does your bios say about the boot order?
Does it let you change the boot order in the BIOS? Try dissabling boot from SATA. I thougt you were going to format that bastard.
Also, you should be able to plug in the sata drive after you boot to SSD. SATA is hot-swappable meaning the sytem does not need to be off when you plug it in, just like USB

Sober enough to know what I'm doing, drunk enough to really enjoy doing it
yes could be, its called USB legacy support. Disable it and it will disable the external HDD when booting but it will work fine when in Windowsbaggs wrote:

ssd is 1st boot device. nothing else. ssd isnt on the list when the external is plugged in (external is in its place)jsnipy wrote:
