I bought a new SSD and wanted to replace my primary OS disk with it. Coincidentally I've had my OS on a 250GB disk for a while and bought a 250GB SSD.
The SSD shows up in my BIOS. It's the Patriot Torch
However in Windows Disk Manager the hard drive doesn't appear
I thought this might have been because my BIOS wasn't set to AHCI so I went ahead and did that but when I set to AHCI I can't boot into Windows, I'm not sure why, I have the current primary disk on Sata 2. The mobo is an ASUS P6T SE. It's pretty old now, I guess...
I can boot into my Win7 DVD while in AHCI and I thought I'd go ahead and just install Win7 to the SSD from the DVD but it also doesn't show up when I go to pick a volume. This screen was taken with my documents HDD disconnected which is Disk 1 on the Disk Manager image. Actually I rearranged all the SATA ports after this image was taken, I think... it's been a long day.
What am I missing?
