Hello guys

I got a strange problem. Today i received my SSD and i wanted to instal W7 on it. First i could see the SSd in the bios but not in the windows screen where you can partition the disks.

No i got that problem solved. But the disk is onley 8Mb

My system specs

Asus Crosshair formula 2

AMD Phenom2 x940

if you need more info just ask and i will post it

Regards

That certainly is a strange problem. Have you tried to format it in Windows 7 as a basic disk? And did you initialize the disk? Is the SSD shown as being online?

Seems like the disk is not formatted correctly.

i can see the disk in windows but i cant do much with it, i can onley format the 8Mb and make a partition on that piece of the disk

Have you used HDDErase? HDDErase can screw up your SSD with that 8MB issue. We can get into trying to fix it if you did mess up with HDDErase.
