thanks man i appreciate this. i did reformat it already the thing is whenever i connect my hdd and my ssd, the bios detect my hdd but my ssd dont. btw i used my other pc just to reformat the ssd.

is this pc in raid mode? you may need to go into the raid firmware and add the drive as a single/solo drive first.

if you mean if its in ide,raid and ahci mode? im sorry im not a computer expert but i can keep up

popatim :

any tips on how to do this?

strdmoks · May 1, 2013

popatim :

i believe its in ahci mode

do i need to install the intel raid drivers?

popatim · May 2, 2013

Not for windows7 or up. They have drivers built in.

First remove any overclock you may have.

Make sure the drive is on the lowest numbered chipset sata port which are the two blacks ones right next to the red ones.

Next boot up and go into the bios and make sure your ssd is being seen there, if it isn't windows wont see it either.

Unfortunately all your sata ports are sata2 and you will not get full speed from your new SSD.

If worst comes to worst just send it back for a new one, by now you could of had a new one in your lap.

popatim · May 8, 2013

the drive is plugged into one of the two black sata ports right next to the two red ones? (note there are two ports stacked one on top of the other, just to be clear)

black black black red
black black black red

yes tried it to the bottom and the top, still it doesnt detect my ssd.

in addition to this i tried uninstalling the ide controllers and restarted my pc just in case, while my ssd is connected. still nothing happens

xAdam :

thought of that too but there's plenty of time and i want to learn more.

popatim · May 8, 2013

I would try upgrading the drives firmware. You'll probably need that toher computer to do it. If that doesnt work I'd be contacting Plextor
