How do I get PCI-Express SSD to be recognized before SATA SSD?

[earwicker7]

One of my RAID drives (they were both SATA2 SSD) died, so I bought a PCI-Express SSD to replace it for the boot drive, with the intention of using the remaining SATA2 drive as a data drive.

The PCI-E drive works fine; I've installed Windows with no problem, and it runs fine until I plug in the SATA2 drive. When I do this, it tries to boot from the SATA2 drive, then says that the boot information is missing.

How do I force the motherboard to recognize that the PCI-E drive should be the C drive?

Go into Your BIOS and depending on your motherboard you will need to look around and find the option to select the order of the drives. What is your motherboard?

It's a Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD9. I know there is a boot order option, but I thought it was only hard drive vs. DVD vs. floppy, etc. I'll look around tonight and see if there is something that specifies which drive.

Thanks!
