SSD Not detected/disconnecting

[cncguy]

Hey guys, I recently built a new pc (specs below) and I am having an issue with my SSD (OCZ VERTEX 2 100GB). In the bios and in windows it shows i have no SSD attached. However restarting the pc will sometimes proceed to show the SSD in the bios and windows. Also when I am in windows the SSD will randomly be disconnected and no longer shown under my drives. I have install the newest firmware, and bios for mother board, I have tried switching sata ports, cables, and power connectors. Yet nothing has fixed the issue. The SSD worked perfectly in my old system, however in the new build I run into these problems. Any tips to help?

You have to go under drive management... and format it.

I've done this already.

this sounds like a lose or bad sata cable. swap it out for a new sata port and cable
