What do you mean it can't be found? Can you navigate ASUS BIOS just fine and are familiar with it?

Yes, I can navigate through the BIOS just fine, I just want to select my new SSD for as my main Boot Drive, and it does not appear in the place where you select the boot drives.

Is the disk controller in the BIOS set to AHCI?

That really only affects Windows.
