Help needed with new SSD/HD install

[Ste59w]

Need some help please if possible!

I've just installed a new SSd and a new HD.

I took out my old HD to replace with new, and added the SSD. My machine now has 1 storage HD and 2 SSDs - a Kingston and a OCZ vertex.

I wiped the Kingston and reinstalled windows 7 on the OCZ, in ACHI mode. Install went ok but when i log into windows i cannot see my 500gb storage device on My Computer, however it appears in Device Manager. I used to run in ICE mode before new install. Any ideas?!

My other issue is my SSd doesnt seem to boot into windows, i get an error saying Boot Device is Inaccessible and end up having to use the windows CD to get in.

Any help greatly appreciated as im stumped!

Check disk Management (Ctrl Panel\Admin tools\Computer Management), you probably have to initialise the drive and format it.

seemed to have sorted boot issue by reinstalling windows again.

I've followed your advice above but the disks that are missing dont show up in the Storage section, but they do show up in Device Manager under Disk Drives and are correctly setup as Storage devices.

Any other ideas!?

did you open the storage section, then click on the logical disk manager, wait for the snap-in to load.

If yes do you see your working drives in the list and graphic ?
