Alright whenever I try and boot to my SSD (boot drive) my computer will end up saying "reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device and press a key". However if I use the same SATA and power connections and attach my Linux hard drive, with no changes to the BIOS, it will boot just fine. If I have my SSD set up as a slave drive, I can access the files fine and browse the drive as if nothing is wrong. Anyone know why this is happening?

Specs:
Mobo: ASUS M4A79XTD evo
CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 965
RAM: 2x(2x 2GB A-Data Gaming Series)
SSD1: Kingston SSDNow 64GB
SSD2: OCZ Onyx 32GB
HDD: WD Caviar Black 640GB
Linux HDD: Hitachi Deskstar 320GB
DVD Drive: Some LiteON drive
Graphics card: AMD Radeon HD 6950

If anyone has an idea as to why this is happening, please let me know. The system has been working fine up until I took it apart earlier to clean it out.
