Want SSD to show up as startup disk

[deepakwins]

I have a new Samsung 830 SDD in the master slot and moved the Hard disk to the Optical drive slot in my Mac Book Pro.
I cloned the data and was able to boot using SSD disk. I use Option to select the SSD during startup.
I wanted to have the SSD has the Permanent boot up disk.
But the Startup Disk is not showing up the SSD at all. It just shows only Macintosh HD OSX.
I was expecting the SSD also to show up. But its not.
Any help?

Thanks,
Deepak

Did you try to edit the startup disk by selecting the SSD in System Preferences, "Startup Disk"?

Note: Your title was changed to something that could be identified with your question. Using "Mac" as a title is unacceptable.

Thanks for the Reply. My whole point is, the SSD wont show up in the System Preferences, "Startup Disk"!!!!

OK, your initial post was a bit confusing. Apparently you have no problem booting from the SSD if you hold down the Option key and select it to boot. But it does not show up as a startup disk in System Preferences, Startup Disk. I think the problem lies in the fact that you cloned your Macintosh HD to the SSD to make the SSD bootable instead of installing OS X clean to the SSD.

Disconnect your hdd and see what happens. If your system still boots, it is naturally booting from the ssd. If all that works, I would reformat you mechanical drive for storage only.

Anything that I can do without opening the Mac? I messed with one screw last time.
