Im getting so frustrated... I hate how PC's when it comes to hard drives are always so picky.. I remember the switch from IDE to SATA HDDs caused a lot of issues and installing windows or what not was a pain in the ***..
Im having the same problem on my new build... I have a 240GB silicon power SSD, and I cannot get windows see the SSD... If I go to my computer it sees the regular drive, but not the SSD I installed all the chipset drivers from the gigabyte Z97 sniper CD, I have no yellow !! in device manager, in fact device manager sees my SSD, intel rapid storage program sees my ssd, the bios sees it.. but it isn't under my computer and when I try to install windows 7 it doesn't see it either..
Ive been trying to fix this for like 8 hours today and im going ape #$#$ crazy, also I should note disk management does see the drive as well, but I cannot format it.. it doesn't give me the option to format the drive
PC specs are Intel 4790
16gb G.skill ripjaws
Gigabyte z97 g1 sniper
R9 290 Radeon
Silicon power 240gb SSD, and my old 640 Blue caviar drive
EVGA G2 750w psu
