SanDisk Extreme® II SSD

Installed the SSD & installed Windows 7 Pro 64-bit.
Had troubles and had to re-install W7 again.
W7 would not boot to the install disk. Unplugged the SATA cable until computer booted to install disk and plugged in the SATA cable.
Tried to delete the partitions and could only do one. Leaving the 2nd, 111GB, still there & W7 will not install.

Is SSD junk now??

Computer will not boot to SSD. I have no other HD where W7 is loaded.
W7 will not start up because it is not installed.
I have tried to install W7 to a HD out of a laptop but I run into the same problem.
I cannot format the HD (or SSD) from the Install Windows screen.
 
Solution
Do a quick format of the ssd. Then uninstall the hdd and with only the ssd installed, load windows.

Also, there is a tool app at the sandisk web site that you can safely zero out the entire drive.

Took computer to computer person and let them deal with it. I am too frustrated with the process.
Thank you for the ideas.
