m17x r4 ssd install

[trisx1x]

Just tried to install my new Samsung 840 250gig into my m17 and it doesn't show up in disk management.

I have windows 8 on my laptop at the moment on a 750gig hdd but I want to install a copy of windows 7 on the ssd and using the other drive for storage.

I check the bios and the ssd appears there and I even went as far as to boot from the windows 7 installation disk and it gives me the option to install onto the ssd but still doesn't show on disk management.

Any ideas?

PS I also have a 32 gig Samsung msata ssd installed and that shows up.

Right ignore above, ssd has finally appeared.

Now my plan is to install win 7 to the ssd and leave win 8 on the hdd then format it later. I have the ssd in disk 1 position and the hdd in the disk 0 position, do I have to swap the drives around or can I just change the boot order?

You can just change the boot order in BIOS and it'll do you fine
