SOLVED – Problem finding the system disk (M2 / SATA – problem?) – SOLVED

Hi.

Motherboard: MSI B450 A-pro Max
M2: Corsair Force MP510
SSD: Adata SP900 (also system disk)

Building a new computer and the guy will get the old one. From the old one, I took out the storage hard disk (pictures/documents) to put in the new one and removed an SSD that had been lying around for many years and was hardly used. Left in the old one, there is now an SSD on which Windows is installed and an M2 for games.
Unfortunately, I pulled out all the cables from the motherboard to keep some order, this without clearly noting where the system disk was.

PROBLEM:
The computer cannot find anything to boot.

So far I have tested the following SATA ports for the SSD:
1 = SSD is found but does not boot, despite boot order changed
2 = SSD is not even visible in the boot list (M2 took the port??)
3 = SSD is found but does not boot, despite boot order changed

Have also changed the signal cable between SSD and MB and tested another power connector.

– If the SSD is visible in the boot list, it should have enough power, right?

Ideas, thoughts and suggestions are welcome… (Going out on the town soon but will be back tonight)

Thanks in advance
