I.e. ensure the SSD is in the port labeled sata0 or sata1 and make sure that your data drive is in a port higher than that (i.e. sata2, sata3 etc). This is because the "bootloader" (the bit that tells the computer where to find the operating system) is forced onto the first drive detected by the Windows installer. That way if you ever remove your data drive for some other reason, your computer won't boot anymore... Nice one Microsoft!
Yes! I have had this problem before too. Its very annoying and difficult to fix!
