Samsung 850 EVO SSD Not Being Recognized on Boot

it sounds like a boot order problem. go into your bios and make sure you select your drive as the primary boot device, it sounds like it wants to boot from removable storage. then swap the SATA port the SSD is plugged into for a different one.

So I have been having some problems with my Samsung 850 EVO when booting.  I have my OS installed on that drive, while I use a separate 2TB WD Black for storage.  On boot, the 850 is not being recognized, and I get the "Insert a Boot Disk" message.  I have found a work around though.  If I unplug my 850 from my MOBO, and boot up and enter the BIOS, then once in the BIOS, plug the 850 back in, and then reboot, it works fine.  I have tried switching out the SATA cables, and used different ports on my MOBO, but still get the same problem.  Has anyone ever experienced this? Is this a problem with my SSD or what?  Any advice would really help!

 

Thanks!
