    Full description:

    My computer is an medion X6815.

    Things I've tryed:

    Installed the SSD on an old desktop, saw it on device manager, formated it in NFTS MBR, installed windows, worked flawlessly.

    My laptop works fine too, I put the old HDD back and I am using it right now.

    Tryed changing the configuration of the boot to AHCI and back.

    Updated my BIOS to AMERICA TRENDS 207.

    Legacy is enabled.

    Sent an email to medion, but they did not answer.

    I installed it so many times in the last few days that it cannot be that is badly plugged in.

    I did a warm start

    Some systems just won't accept certain SSDs. Have you tried to install a different brand/controller SSD to see if that works?
