So I was installing an HDD and SSD - neither of which were found in Windows, eventually I could find the SSD in windows computer management and formatted it - but it still did not show up as a drive letter.
After updating some drivers the SSD disappeared and now the HDD is installed just fine.
When I try to start the computer with the SSD in question plugged in everything goes haywire, Windows tries to repair and attributes a failure to the SSD driver.
I went to the OCZ website and downloaded a PC Bootable firmware flash - wrote it to a bootable USB stick and figured all would be well in the world.
Now the USB stick won't boot - I get a Kernel failure, I tried extending the time the boot uses before initiating a Kernel failure with no success.
I'm thoroughly confused now, is this SSD flat out bricked, or is there still a way to flash it?
SSD is an OCZ Vertex 2 - it has worked fine in the past, but upon putting it into a new build PC it seems everything went FUBAR.
