I've just started using a second drive for storage, but am having a problem at boot. I'm getting a black screen message that asks me to reboot and choose where to boot from.

There's no OS on the other drive, and I formatted it normally (Manage Storage option from My Computer, reformat, easy as cake) and put a ton of stuff on there just fine.

I cant get into my BIOS fast enough, because I have to use the same method for getting into my BIOS to choose my main drive, which then loads so fast, that I cant get into my BIOS to change any settings to make my OS drive the default to boot from (if that even works and I need to do it).

Advice?

You need to get into BIOS to change the boot sequences. Thats the issue, not the drive.
 
wait, it POSTS too fast to hit the delete key?

why don't you just clear your cmos, taking the system back to default (slower) settings. you should at least have a couple seconds to start mashing it down before the system is spun up and starts booting
 
hit the power button with a finger from one hand while constantly hitting the delete key with a finger from the other hand.
