(EDITED)
BIOS Is not showing my Boot drive SSD but it does recognize the 2TB Storage HDD. When I check the SATA it shows that its Active and it shows the Samsung 850 EVO 500GB but its not showing in the BOOT option in BIOS.

I don't have a clue what to do. Everything works fine. Being using the Computer with no issues for 3 months now. No idea what I can do. I need to see my SSD IN BIOS for something I need to do.

And, what was the solution?
Copy and Paste my solution response from another Forum group I was asking.

"Isn't it crazy? its not under the BOOT Option once you enter the BIOS but oddly enough its showing the SSD as Boot option when you enter the menu from start up instead of entering the menu through BIOS by pressing the F12 Key for Boot Option. So strange, but its there.

Appreciate the help, no idea what could be doing this or why lol so strange."54433130_10157237826501979_2548105119195463680_o.jpg

That's because you have to go under "Hard Drive BBS Priorities", and set the Samsung SSD as the primary priority among the HDDs. Then your Boot Option Menu should list the DVD drive and the SSD as options.
