Hello there,
Since I changed my HDD with a SSD and installed Windows 10 on my laptop, I am experiecing boot-up problems. I own an Asus G56JR (i7 4700hq, 8gb ram, gtx760m). Some time ago I've bough a Kingston HyperX Fury 120GB SSD and a Raidsonic Convertor SATA HDD-ODD 2.5", IB-AC642.
For information purposes, I'll leave the links here:

http/www.ebay.com/itm/Kingston-HyperX-Fury-120GB-SHFS37A-120G-2-5-SSD-SATA-Internal-Solid-State-Drive-/321748184741
So, I done the upgrade in the folowing manner:
- took out the HDD from the laptop, and placed the SSD in it's slot (the HDD is a WD Black 7200rpm 500GB)
- took out the optical drive, placed the HDD in the ODD Caddy/Adaptor, slided it inside the optical drive.
Now I basically have one SSD and one HDD in the laptop. So far so good. Proceeded to install Windows 10, and at the first two attempts it told me that I can't install Windows on the SSD. After two more restarts it worked.
Installed Windows 10 on my SSD, formated the HDD, installed my stuff, all "good". Daily, the laptop refuses to start from the first try. I just press the start-up button and it tells me to "Reboot and select proper boot device".
If I reboot and go in BIOS, the SSD it's gone from the boot order. Sometimes the HDD is gone from the boot order as well, sometimes the HDD is selected as primary boot. I either have to restart it 2-3 times, or go in Advanced -> SATA CONFIG -> Connected Hardware. After it displays the connected Hardware (HDD + SSD), they will appear in BOOT OPTIONS in BIOS.
PS: How the boot options goes on my laptop:
P1 -> HDD/SSD (if it detects hdd or ssd, they will appear under P1, you can choose only one)
P2 -> only appears if other stuff is detected (Like optical drive, USB).
I don't quite remember if in the past (when I had the original laptop, without SSD or ODD Caddy), the boot order was DVD, HDD or HDD, DVD.
Also, the HDD is on SATA PORT 1, and the SSD is on the SATA PORT 2. Basically the DVD-bay seems to be SATA PORT 1 and the HDD bay seems to be SATA PORT 2.
Any help would be nice. Sorry for the wall of text.
Thanks
