Install went OK, but it recognizes the 2 hard drives, but does not list either as bootable. What to do?

Dear Jim D.,
Thank you for reaching out.
We do understand your disappointment with the product and the inconvenience this may have caused if two hardrives you installed are not recognized as bootable. To resolve this, check in the BIOS setup page if one of thease drives was selected as the boot drive and check if the OS was installed in UEFI mode or Legacy BIOS mode. Additionally, check if the preinstalled OS is compatible with the motherboard's chipset and device drivers. Should you need further assistance with the product, please email me at cl-rodel@asus.com and I would be more than happy to help. Or, you are most welcome to call Product Support Hotline at: 1(888) 678-3688. Also, you can chat with an ASUS live support agent from the link: https://www.asus.com/us/support/article/1135/.
Paired with an i7 14700k, awesome motherboard, top notch quality and designed for gaming, make sure you install windows 11 as windows 10 wifi drivers are not supported. Very solid motherboard.
ASUS boards have really evolved over the last few years. I bought the Z90 WiFi board with expectations that it would be easy to set up. The BIOS is greatly improved. The Armoury Crate app greatly simplifies finding the right drivers. I do not plan to use the Aura lighting or the WiFi but I would like to get the WiFi working. So far, the driver seems to install but then nothing. Maybe someday I'll figure that out. I have purchased the add-on card for TPM 2.0 though MS says I could install W11 without it. It's still reassuring to have. I'm building my system in W10 and will take the free upgrade to W11 when I have my hardware all set up. This system may last the rest of my life seeing that I'm 70 years old now. Thanks ASUS!
I am very pleased with this Motherboard no issues so far. I really like the numerous peripherals especially high speed USB on the Motherboard backplate and for my Chassis Enclosure on the Front for easy access. The drivers were very convenient to locate and install. The only thing I wish this Motherboard had that it doesn’t is a plate cover for the peripherals and included heat sinks for the SSD’s.
