Port 2 and Port 4 drives are for games and other stuff. It doesn't have anything OS related on it.

I don't know? That's why I am seeking for help. I am worried my drives might be dead if the BIOS cannot detect it on Boot Priority?

if they have nothing to boot then they aren't going to show in the boot priority as an option.... much in the same way your toaster isn;t a selectable gpu.

if the drives show up in windows then why does it matter?

Maybe there's something wrong that my Mobo don't detect those two drives? I don't know?

so let me get this straight....

theres nothing wrong with the machine
the drives show up and are being used in windows
they show up in the bios
but they don't show up as a bootable option EVEN THOUGH they aren't boot drives to begin with......

thats your problem correct?

there nothing on the drives to boot to , i dont know what else to say. if you arent going to put something on the drive for the system to boot to then its not going to be a bootable option.

you can put a boot disk in the cd rom

install something on the drive to boot to first , only then if its not an option do you actually have a problem.

I don't understand? Right now there is nothing in the optical drive to boot into.

honestly , right now there's no problem with your machine either.

i've typed the answer at least twice now , no sense in me typing any more. maybe somebody else can type the exact same thing to you and you can drive them nuts instead
