Hello all,

Attached above is the Disk Management.

Disk0 is my New SSD

Disk1 is the old HDD

I come looking for help. I recently installed a Samsung 970 Plus M.2 SSD into my Alienware Aurora R7. I cloned the contents of my HDD to the M.2 SSD. I then removed the HDD and the computer booted up normally. I went ahead and quick formatted the HDD as I want to use it for storage but when I went to boot up it tried to boot up from the HDD which is empty. It puts me in loop with a repair option and other things. Only way out of this loop is to F12 and Manually boot from the M.2 SSD. I checked the BIOS in F2 and the boot option for selecting HDD or SSD are not there. Just Windows Boot Manager or the other 2 random options. Anyone know how I can get it to boot automatically from my M.2 SSD instead of F12 everytime?

Thanks for the help!
