You do have the drivers installed?
Could even try re-installing them.

theres no exe/setup on the "setup" disc im a noob when it comes to this.

just ran the disc provided with ssd, and turns out its a boot disc. it just seems to be a backup utility.

do a bios reset that should work

 

[bushy24]

ouch erm.. really ?

 

[danceforfreedom]

did you install your ssd as a secondry drive or did you install it and install windows onto it?

 

[bushy24]

i just plugged my sata and power and booted my windows 7 disc and installed

everything apart from grf works fine, i moved my gfx card into a diff slot, booted windows, it picked it up but i cannot do anything with it, i replaced my 2raptors in raid 0 for ssd if that helps

would i need to change anything in the bios ?.

i know a small amount of pc stuff but surely it should be picking it up straight away right ?

Sometimes the BIOS keeps the old settings,you got nothing to loose doing a BIOS reset it won't do any harm,also make sure you running the ssd in achi mode you can change that in the BIOS as well,good luck hope you get it up and running
