UEFI BIOS fails to recognize a target SSD for backup

I see some confusing entries in the BIOS for HDs and admittedly I do not understand anything about UEFI quirks. I asked an earlier question but now stating it a different way. A target SSD for the Raw Copy tool simply doesn't show up when the program is run, yet appears in the initial HDD group. I've also tried running Raw Copy from the CD drive, same result-- a disk locking error and I don't know how to close any files where none seem open.

I just want to get a good copy of the original SSD and something is stopping or locking the target.
In another thread on this there was something about bad sectors. The Win10 disk check ran clean so I don't know what else there is to do.

Even finding entries in this ASUS Bios screen is difficult. I'll come back with a screen shot if I can land on anything useful.

Success.

I was able to reformat the problem SSD in Win7 on another PC which managed to see it correctly.
Then I had a cd copy of Acronis and used it the correct way to this Win10 SSD clone. My old notes say use TOOLS & UTILITIES and then find Clone Disk in that group and follow the screen directions from there.
That avoids confusing discussions or options for "image" which I never understood properly.

One scary moment was after the run of the program, the countdown to restart stalled out and I had never seen blinking caps and scroll buttons flashing on and off. I just did a hard stop and rebooted with the new clone HDD to test.

Hopefully it will continue to boot normally.
