    Did you try booting without the drive to bios?

    thanks for the suggestion tanware, i can go to the bios settings now.

    I installed that brand new ssd like 3 weeks ago, what do you think caused the problem?

    Happy thanksgiving :)

    Not familiar with the OCZ's but I have heard there was/is issues with SF2's. I haven't experienced or seen it myself so I can't give a true comment but do know a device on the SATA port can halt even the bios from loading...........
