Help! Can't boot from Sata SSD, only M.2 SSD

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I had a really frustrating time when I was trying to have a SATA and m.2 drive. Turns out some sata ports cannot be used while an SSD is in a given m.2 slot.
Look up your motherboards instruction manual, it should have the rules listed out. Give them to chatgpt and ask it to tell you how to plug your drives in.
