If your mobo has multiple controllers for sata drives this may be why. I know with my older sabertoothx58 board I can't have my boot drive on the SATA3.0 marvell controller or the pc won't boot. I have to have the boot drive on the integrated SATA3.0 Intel controller. Try hooking the drive up to a different SATA port, preferably one on a different onboard controller if you have one.

is your controller set to IDE? try AHCI or RAID

@Wombo Might be right, a few google searches reveal that this can be a more common problem on Gigabyte boards.

just for the record, you cant start your install at all anymore? Just stuck at bios?

i tried both but i will try again

Easiest thing would be to just try putting your SSD in another pc and see if it detects, after exhausting all other options on your own board. If it doesnt detect RMA it. But I've had cases where I had to remove partitions on drives with DISKPART to get them working properly again. Might be worth a try if you can get another PC to test it on!

Have you tried installing the driver for your sata controllers via the windows installer?

i did a combo of both and found out i had a bad sata power cable
