Aurora-R7, SATA SSD upgrade?

Hi, 

Can you confirm if your SSD is being properly recognized by the system? You can check this in the Bios main menu, tap the F2 during the initial boot sequence to access this menu. 

Thank you for your response Rodrigo!

Yes, the SSD  appears to be properly recognized in the bIOS

I purchased a 2.5 inch sata SSD to install on my R7 to install in bottom slots.  I want to keep the 3.5 inch 1tb 7200 drive that came with the computer, however, i want to make ssd the boot drive.  Any advice on how to make this happen?   

It should be similar to this.

Thank you for the info.  I was able to clone drive, and it boots just fine.  Now, how do I reformat the original drive to act a storage disk?

I went into disk management, and it would not let me delete the portioned part of the drives.  How do I make this happen to make it a single drive?

1. Excellent

2. Very carefully use DiskPart's clean command. Sometimes, you have to do it in another machine.
