Posted October 8, 2017 Looks to me as if Win10 doesn't see the drive (duh, right?) as valid. I'd try installing some other OS on the drive, Ubuntu for starters. If Ubuntu works, then your hardware is good and the ISO you are using for Win10 is bad. Also, when you get to the section about installing Win10, don't click on "I don't have a key", just click "next", and delete whatever Win10 thinks is on the ssd, it should not say (IIRC, I refuse to use Win10) "System" but rather "Blank" Anyway, install *nix, see what happens, that should sort out if it's hardware or Win10. NOTE: I no longer frequent this site. If you really need help, PM/DM me and my e.mail will alert me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted October 8, 2017 The drive needs to be formatted first so select the drive and then press Format. Also why IDE should you not be using AHCI? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried setting it to AHCI and it still wouldn't install. I've formatted it repeatedly, and it refuses to install. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ubuntu installed and runs fine, but the Western Digital SSD Dashboard doesn't recognize that there is an SSD attached to my PC. This is so weird.

Posted October 8, 2017 Does Ubuntu see the SSD? NOTE: I no longer frequent this site. If you really need help, PM/DM me and my e.mail will alert me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted October 9, 2017 Author It installed to it and ran okay. I formatted it again, and booted into my win 10 on my hdd, and made sure win 10 can see the SSD. I'm probably going to RMA it. Not sure what else to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted October 9, 2017 Author Turns out the newest version of WD SSD Dash cannot see the 250 gb ssd's. Wtf. Anyways, update video. Still don't work. @Radium_Angel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted October 9, 2017 What I was asking is did Ubuntu see it? Did you install Ubuntu on the ssd in question, or use a live cd? NOTE: I no longer frequent this site.
