I have a hp laptop with 1tb hard drive, and i added and 240gb ssd to it by removing cd drive with help of a caddy.
The ssd showed up in diskmgmt before i installed new os in it.
To install a fresh os i created windows media creation tool and then using dispart i cleaned everything, installed os on ssd and it rebooted.
Now the problem is when it boots up its give error select boot device failed, i google search it, get a solution to enable legacy bios and disable secure boot. I did that but now it shows me no bootable device press and key to continue. I tried to change boot order in every possible way in both legacy and uefi boot order still same error.

I did perform hard drive test all passed.

Also i tried to install os on my hdd it works but on ssd i get errors.

I have backups, so no worries, but the bios just wont allow the ssd to boot

What are you planning to do with the 1 TB drive?

Why not swap the two drives around and do a clean install and see how that works. The system may be having issues booting to the SSD since it is in a drive caddy.

Undo the changes to the BIOS as well should you try this.
