I have just got a 120gb SSD, Plugged it in and booted windows and automatically installed the drivers sucesfully.


The only problem is the SSD is not showing up under My Computer although it is under device manager..

any ideas?

Ive read that ACHII mode needs to be enabled? the only issue is.. windows doesnt boot of my IDE with it... What would be the easiest way to stick windows 7 on my SSD when i dont have my windows disk? :S
 
Never mind i went through Administrative tools > Computer managment and created a new simple volume.. works fine now :)

Download the relevant .iso from digitallife forums, extract and burn to a usb drive, boot from that.

If you google IDE -> AHCI mode, there is a relatively simple registry edit you can do. After changing the registry, restart your computer, immediately enter the bios, and set SATA ports to AHCI mode, then save and exit.

You computer will restart, and then your windows drive should now install the AHCI drivers, and boot properly into AHCI mode.
