After trying to do a Secure Erase with Parted Magic on my Vertex 2 and waiting about 4 hours without a conformation, I decided to just quit and forget about it. Now that I went back to Windows, I don't see my SSD in the Computer folder anymore. But in Parted Magic and my BIOS I do. Is there any way I can get my SSD to recognized again?

Yes , by going into disk management you can reactivate and set the partition of the SSD. Right click on computer and select manage and then disk management under storage from the list , then you will be prompted to enable the SSD when the page opens up and a window will automaticly open or you can select it from the list of drives if it doesn't.

Try unplugging the sata power cable and data cabl fron the SSD and wait for a good 5 min before plugging back in , of course you are doing this with the computer shut off. When you went into disk management did a window pop up when you selected disk management ? The red light is not a good thing and hopefully by unplugging and pluging back in the red lite will go out otherwise you should be calling OCZ tech support.
