I am installing a new Vertex2 180GB SSD drive in my Dell Precision 390 running Win 7 Ultimate in 64bit w/8gigs of ram. I have two 75GB sata drives and moved the plugs from the 2nd drive to the SSD drive and booted the system up. The drive shows up elsewhere but does not show up under "computer" which lists all other drives, CD ROMs, etc on the system. I have several external drives and 2 CD ROM drives.
I checked the boot config as well as the Windows Device Manager and both list the SSD drive. This leads me to believe that there is something else that must be done before the drive is accessible as usable space.
I did a right-click on the drive in device manager and reviewed all the options available there and there are no issues. I am going to change my OS to another version of Win 7 but planned to do that after transferring the data to the SSD.
What am I missing or need to do to resolve this issue???

. That did it, now I will move to the process of making this my boot drive. Hopefully that will be a simply process.
