SSD install troubles

I installed my brand new Crucial M500 120gb SSD! Unfortunately, while the BIOS recognizes the drive and so does Windows Device Manager, Windows Explorer and my cloning software (EaseUS Todo) do not recognize my new drive. Did I need to configure something or did something go wrong in the drive itself? Thank you ahead of time for any advice or help.
