My desktop had 2 SSD's (1 240GB and 1 120GB) and 1 1TB HD.

I shipped my desktop to my new location about a month ago and when i first set it up I had this boot issue on my 120GB SSD (which had the OS on it):

And I tried what the instructions on the screen told me, I put in my windows 7 installation disc and it give me this when i tried to repair:

So after i couldn't do that I gave up and just reinstalled windows onto my 240GB, because I assumed the 120GB SSD had just failed on gone corrupt (I looked in my BIOS and I didn't see my SSD in the boot sequence). But now after a month of my computer running just fine I am getting the exact same issue is happening on my 240GB SSD.

I really hope they didn't just fail one right after the other. I will note that I did not remove my SSD's from my computer when I shipped it, I only removed my graphics card. Another thing to note is that for some reason my desktop still detects the fact that I have had previous installations of windows 7 in my boot manager:

I have checked the connections on my SSD.

 
Welcome to the community, icestriker7!

I'd suggest you to try plugging the SSD in a different SATA port on your motherboard and make sure that port is enabled in BIOS. Another thing you should check is if you have the latest firmware for your SSD's model (you should be able to do that from the manufacturer's website).
I guess you can reset BIOS as well, but you'd need to re-configure the settings afterwards because the reset will get them back to factory defaults. Here's a tutorial that can walk you through several methods: http://www.wikihow.com/Reset-Your-BIOS

Keep me posted with the troubleshooting! Good luck!

If my firmware for my SSD's isn't up to date how would I update such a thing?
