    How do I get the BIOS to detect the new SSD to install Windows 8.1?

    I switched to IDE and it was detected in the BIOS. Thank you. Now I need to try to figure out why it won't start the Windows 8.1 install. If it's not one thing, its another.

    How do I get the BIOS to detect the new SSD to install Windows 8.1?

    I bought an old HP Elitebook 8540p on eBay. The hard drive was cleaned. No OS. I installed more RAM and an SSD. But the BIOS does not detect the new SSD. I reinstalled the original HD and the BIOS detected it. How do I get the BIOS to detect the new SSD to install Windows 8.1?
