I just bought a new SSD (Plextor M5 Pro Extreme 128 GB).
After installing it to my PC, i kept getting a lot of errors and my PC doesn't see two of my drivers anymore.

First i am getting this error: ''Detecting drives; Done; No drives found.''

Then after i enter windows i only find the SSD driver + one hard drive, so my pc cant find the other hard drive and optical drive (although i can see it on BIOS).

That is some SATA issue i assume, if anyone could please help me out.
 
Solution
AHCi = Enhanced. In general it's good to run SATA port where SSD is in AHCi mode, and the others in iDE, if You have compatibility issues.

Compatibile mode - ide. It doesn't support a lot of new features, like NCQ and top speeds, but it's more stable.
Enhanced mode - AHCi. It does support everything, but it requires Windows XP, or maybe Vista, and compatibile hardware.

I updated to the newest version of BiOS.

SATA configuration [Enhanced]
CONFIGURE sata AS [IDE]

not sure what do you mean by IDE or AHCI :-(

SATA 1: [PLEXTOR PX-128M5Pr]
SATA 2: [wdc wd2500AAJS-OOB]
SATA3: [ASUS DVD-E616A3]
SATA4: [WDC WD5000AAKS-OOV]
