    So I replaced my original 320 g hd with a 256 ssd and a 750 gig Scorpio Ed. After a fresh w7 install now the 750 is not being recognized in my computer. I have boot set to ahci with no rst installed... Anyone know what's up?

    Is it just a windows thing? IE. Does it get listed in the bios? If it doesn't, pull it apart and check the cable connection (would be first on my list).

    Type disk management in the start menu and assign it a path or letter. Easy peasy lemon squeezy

    looks like it wasn't properly connected to begin with.
