Hi,


I want to format my computer and install win7 on my SSD. But whenever I insert my installtion-CD (win7) and go to the options where I can install my OS, the system only shows me my HDD but not my SSD as shown below:

I can use my SSD on my workplace though. I have used it and installed several softwares on it before as shown below:

So I browsed the forum and people suggested to switch to AHCI but it's already set on AHCI:

Furthermore people said it should be plug onto the first port, and mine is plugged onto the first port:

I have also installed the driver for the mainboard. The result remains the same though. I cannot click the SSD as an option to format my OS on.

Hopefully someone can help me, and thank you in advance.
