Help choosing Active partition!

[The Pizza Thief]

I raided 2 SSDs in 0 mode, I installed windows 8.1 from a USB drive, after booting up I realized that the drive with my OS installed didn't show up as the active drive, instead one of my Hard drives with nothing but media files in it showed as the active drive, I didn't select this myself, that drive's never had a OS installed before. 

 

Every time I get into the bios I have to select Windows boot manager as the priority drive to boot from otherwise if I boot from the Raid drive (containing the OS) it will tell me No OS was found please make sure only the drive containing the OS is connected and re boot. 

 

Any help ?? please?? I have an online test due today and I would like to have this whole thing stable now. Thanks!

 

edit: Here is how it looks

no scope that link...

 

Though, what option do appear in the boot order

 

Or unraid (dunno ) the drives, and try to boot without RAID, if it works set RAID again

Well there is my RAID drive, Windows boot manager, my USB drive and that's it.

there is a tool you can use to change the mbr, let me try to remember it and ill get back to you.

have you tried changing it through cmd?

my mbr got deleted a few years ago and i fixed it using the cmd prompt on a windows disk

easybcd will sort the issue out i think, i use it all the time.

i backup with aomei autopbackupper and ive got an iso on my C drive that i boot from memory (added it to boot memory with easybcd)

its really easy to use and if i recall you can backup with it as well

Thanks for the answer, I decided to erase everything and install windows again in a single SSD, too much trouble for me.

easy bcd is a great tool.

i bought aomei autobackuper anyway.

ive got a cold boot disk from them that can backup/restore (download from tool itself)

but i mounted the image with easybcd so i can boot directly to it without going through windows, backups this way are a lot faster.

btw i backup to a 3.5" hdd in a 5.25"hotswap bay on the front of my pc

it has one really good feature, the tool itself has a built in pxe service so you can run it on your home server then any pc on your network can use it without a cd.

its free btw (i supported them because i really like it)

what do you guys use?

ive tried ghost,macrium reflect etc and wasnt keen on them for different reasons
