What's the brand and model of the motherboard?
Which SATA port on the motherboard is this SSD plugged into?
What Operating System and version are you using?
Do you have Samsung Magician installed?
Is the latest Firmware version, for your SSD model, installed?

Hi i have the H61M DGS mobo, im not sure which port i think its no. 2, i dont think that matters as it is recognised as a storage device, its just not showing up in explorer and its not letting me initalise it!! so frustrating all firmware is up to date and i have the magician installed.

You'll have to be a little more specific.
Which Samsung 840 drive are you using, an 840 EVO? What operating system are you using? Is this a new drive or a previously used drive?
The drive may be formatted in a way that Windows (which I assume that is what you are using) does not like. Plus, you should use disk management (in Windows 7) to work with the partitions. You can launch Disk Management by typing "disk man" in the Start Menu search box and selecting "create and format hard disk partitions" - providing the fact that you are using Windows 7.
Be very careful here - the hard drive that you booted from and its partition are in the list that you see.

You can select a different entry as the solution when you find it. Did you try Disk Management? You just need to use the search box in the upper right of the start screen.
