I installed a new sleek SSD drive, and my computer (BIOS) recognizes it, but for some reason, Windows 7 doesn't see it. What do I have to do? Thanks in advance for the help!

Reboot the computer. Press ESC for the startup menu. Go to Computer setup. Storage Stortage options Choose AHCI instead of SATA emulation. Wha-la! If that doesn;t work, let us know.

It stands for Advanced Host Controller Interface. forum.crucial.com/t5/Solid-State-Drives-SSD/Why-do-i-need-AHCI-with-a-SSD-Drive-Guide-Here-Crucial-AHCI-vs/td-p/57078
