Boot Problems (bios?)

Hi,

I changed out a 240G SSD with a 500Gb SSD on a computer that had been 
running Linux years ago.  It is a Dell i-5 w/16Gb of RAM.

It was my daily driver until I had to move to Windows for business 
reasons.  The computer is 9 years old and hardly used.

I installed Kubuntu 22.04 on it.  So far so good.

After the install it would not boot.  If I hit the F12 key repeatedly, 
while booting, I get a boot prompt that shows both my SSD and my hard 
drive which is the original spinner. If I select the SSD drive it boots 
right up.

When I go into the bios it only shows the hard drive and an option for 
booting.  The SSD is not in the list of options.

I changed the connects to the motherboard, switching the SSD to 1 and 
the spinner to 2.  There is no 0.  This did not change things.

Any thoughts on how to fix this problem?

Thanks,
Keith
