I have one machine with a very old motherboard. It has a pentium 4 processor. Single core 3.2ghz. This machine's hard drive has ubuntu on it. When I plug the SSD into it the SSD is always visible in the bios. I can access the drive. It says 58gb of 120gb are used, but the folder and files total to less than 1gb, and almost every single file is missing. For example there is no windows folder and program files only has 1 folder. I can view some pictures, there are some intact programs and zips 99% of everything just isn't there.
I think directories are corrupt and files could be recovered but I will gladly format it because the files are not important.
My machine has an msi x99s sli krait edition motherboard. When the ssd into my computer the bios sees the SSD, but disk management and samgsung magician do not. After restarting my computer the bios DOES NOT see the SSD anymore. After restarting the SSD is visible again. I switched from AHCI mode to IDE in my bios. I noticed that it was choosing the SSD as a boot drive (which it would have done the first boot but I did not notice) so I changed it to my HDD hoping that windows was ignoring the drive after it recognized it was unbootable and booting with my HDD.
The SSD was originally in my asus m4a77d. I have not recently tested it, but I'm pretty sure that the SSD never shows up in bios on this motherboard.
