Hello,
I've been losing my mind for a while!!!
I just received my OCZ Vertex 2 60GB SSD
I connected the SATA data cable and the SATA power connector
The SSD is recognized in the BIOS but doesn't appear in my computer under Windows, and in device management, the disk drive is there but in the volume tab it says
type: unknown
status: not initialized
I'm wondering what's going on
In my BIOS, SATA is set to IDE and the SSD is recognized
I really don't know what to do, and this is making me furious since it just cost me $150
Maybe I need to format my computer (which I intended to do to install Windows 7) for it to be detected in Windows
So if anyone knows how to initialize it, I'm all ears
Don't forget that I'm on Windows XP SP3 32-bit
HELP HELP!!!!
I would really, really appreciate your help
Configuration: Motherboard: Asus P7P55D PRO
CPU: Intel i5 750 @ 3.2Ghz

PSU: Ultra LPS750 750w
HDD: 750GB Seagate Barracuda
HDD: Hitachi 500GB

Good evening,
In the volume manager.
On the status: Not initialized.
Have you tried right-clicking on it => initialize?

Doing research yourself before posting on CCM is the quickest solution!
I am not good at French, but I own it!
