M.2 SSD not recognized in BIOS?

So I got an M.2 SSD for Christmas and since my mobo can only fit MSATA, I got a PCI Express adapter for it. So I plug it in, and Windows recognizes it. I cloned the OS over no problem. But when I go into the BIOS to set it to boot first, it s not even there. I ve tried messing around in the BIOS thinking maybe there s some PCI option I need to enable...but didn t find anything. I have a Gigabyte Z77X UD3H mobo if that helps haha

    Disable the hard drive controller on the motherboard for one boot up. Then reenable the controller and see if the order flipped for drive letters. The Bios might flip the boot order automatically between the controllers. I had the same problem and so far it is working for me with that solution.
