With Hard Disk selected it'll behave as described above. Just to elaborate what I mean by it not being an option in the bios, I have the Gigabyte H55M-UD2H motherboard and the only boot devices that are displayed in the bios are Floppy, LS120, Hard Disk, CDROM, ZIP, USB-FDD, USB-ZIP, USB-CDROM, USB-HDD, Legacy Lan. When it boots from hdd (as always if not using f12 menu) it'll show the ssd as drive E, effectively everything works ok but having to hit f12 every time I boot up or restart to select the boot device is going to get tedious However, the only way I can force my computer to boot using the ssd is to hit F12 for boot menu and select it, it is not an option inside my BIOS and by default, every time, it will just boot from my hdd unless it's not plugged in, in which case it'll boot the ssd. So, I used the regedit suggested by windows of setting the value data box to 0 and it caused a bsod, I then read that I had to do the regedit for both the ssd and hdd so I did, which lead to no problems booting up and running AHCI just fine. After learning how to install your external SSD, you’ll find that using a Crucial portable SSD as a boot drive is a simple and reliable way to upgrade your system without using a screwdriver.
Booted up fine however it was running in IDE
I went from using a normal HDD with windows 32 bit os and unplugged it while I installed 64 bit windows os on my new SSD (samsung 840), booted up no problem after setting the sata controller to AHCI and shut down to put my hdd back in as a storage drive, not yet wanting to format the drive just *incase* I have any issues with my ssd I can still use the pc via the hdd.
