Hi guys,

I bought an ADATA SU800 500GB SSD.

I hooked it up last night and tried to install windows 10 from DVD drive (windows iso burned)
The setup started working at got to about 15%. For some reason, the setup failed.

I went back to my mechanical and made a USB boot drive instead of using the DVD feeling that the DVD might have been the issue.

Hooked the SSD back up and went back to try windows install again. Only problem is, now the drive is not recognized. The windows USB boot drive worked, but when I goto install, it can't see the SSD anymore like it did the first time.

Bios can't see the drive anymore either.

How can I fix this thing???

because you started installing windows to the SSD, another installation won't show it as it thinks there is already windows on it. Simply click the Drive Options link on the Where Do You Want to Install to screen and you will see it there and even be able to delete all the partitions and start fresh.
