    Hi guys,

    I'm trying to fresh install windows 7 but it's not detecting my SSD or the other HDD. I think it's missing sata driver or controller? I have never had t his problem before and I've installed windows 7 hundreds of times... what is going on? What do I need?

    What model of SSD do you have, and which SATA port did you plug it into? SSD should be in Port 0. Vertex 3 and others using same controller need a firmware update.
