    BRO! you saved my life!!!! I couldn't find anything that would help my BIOS read my additional M2 ssd until I found this little vid. You are a rockstar! I can't believe more tutorials don't include that tip you just gave! Whew... over an hour trying to figure it out and you solved the problem in 3 mins! HUGE THANK YOU!!

      PS. It did disable my PCIe Wifi adaptor in the Express slot... but moving that adaptor to a lower 16bit slot of my board (so its not sharing with the M2) was a good work around.

    Some motherboards with multiple m.2 slots will only allow one of them to be used as a boot drive. Check your user manual first, and if its a second hand board you can find the manual of the manufacturers site.

      I just figured out how to solve that POST screen. Just enable CSM and disable any overclocking. Save and exit Bios. Then go into Bios again and press F5 for default settings. Save and exit again. That fixed the problem. It apparently doesn’t like me using the X.M.P Ram overclocking.

      @krol9181 the best I can recall is all I was able to do was change the boot order, our bios looks nothing like the one in the video. Also the legacy bios boot order did not match the UEFI, so I changed it to do so making the original drive first. After that the operating system on the original 256 gig drive was detected again and there was nothing on the cloned drive. That was strange as the process which I followed to the letter, was completed. I them went to another video using a free trial of paid software to re-clone the rescued 256 gig drive onto the terabyte drive that had nothing on it. It works fine, what a relief!

      This would be a option in the bios after getting into the bios you should find a setting that allows you to change from RAID to AHCI.

      Guys I fixed it. I had Intel storage boost on... I forgot the acronym but it was in bios. My suggestion is default or cmos bios and boot to see it is normal. If good then carefully watch out for the Intel storage boost in bios. Wholetime I thought it was just a Intel boost tech 🤣
