It seems you have your BX200 SSD connected to either the SATAE_4 or SATAE_5 port. Those ports share resources with the M.2 port on your board.
When a drive is in the M.2 port, the SATAE_4 and SATAE_5 ports will no longer work. From your board's specifications:
The M.2 Socket, SATAE_4, SATAE_5 and SATA Express share lanes. If either one of them is in use, the others will be disabled.
Just move your BX200 to another SATA port, four others are available, and you'll be able to boot from it again.
BTW, your board's M.2 port is a PCIe 2.0 x2 connection. Your Samsung SM951 requires a PCIe 3.0 x4 connection to operate at its full speed.
