When turning on or restarting, press the F1 key repeatedly at the moment the ThinkPad logo appears.

After entering the BIOS, use the keyboard arrow keys to select the Config tab at the top.
In the Config menu, find and enter the Serial ATA (SATA) option, then change the SATA Controller Mode Option setting.
