Hi

I recently installed a ssd instead of my hdd drive and installed a caddy instead of my dvd-drive and put my hdd  inside there.the problem is my ssd is not recognized as master and instead my hdd inside the caddy has been master.

how can I set my ssd as first/master drive and hdd as slave/second ?

thanks

Lets take a step back...master/slave does not apply any more. The drives are SATA and SATA does not have master/slave concepts.

 

You should leave the hard drive with the caddy out of the equation until you get an OS installed on the SSD. If you remove the DVD caddy and turn power on with the SSD in the 2.5 inch SATA bay, what happens?

when I pull out the caddy drive the os installed on the ssd will run and it's okay but as I have installed another os on the hdd , the problem is the os installed on the hdd in recognized as the main which is on the caddy and I need the os on the ssd be the main .

Which OS is installed on each drive? Both Windows 10? Have you tried setting boot order in the BIOS? HDD in an optical caddy is usually not bootable.
