Go to solution Solved by bordrx,

you have a clear CMOS button on the back  I/O beneath the PS2 & 2 USB ports

shutdown the computer, unplug the power cord, press the little button for like 10 seconds, plug the computer back in and boot

 

edit: it's the small black button to the left of the optical out port in this pic

move the SSD to a different SATA port on your MB, preferably SATA1 (look in your manual if you don't know which port is SATA1)

If that fails, clear CMOS (again read the manual for instructions) and DONT enable windows 8 features
