post #1 of 6

Thread Starter 
So I just got off work to find my SSD waiting in the package on my bed, installed it into bay hooked everything up and booted up.
Windows installs drivers for my new ssd and I reboot with no issues other then I can only see my boot HDD and not the SSD at all to format it so transfer over my all my games.

How do I or where can I find this ssd to format??

I can find it in device manager but can't format it from there....

Please help this is new tech to me.

It's actually just like installing a new hard drive. My memory on the process is fuzzy, but I know that you have to go into Disk Management. This can be accessed the fastest in Windows 7 by just opening the Start menu, typing disk management, and pressing Enter.

I can't remember the fine details at this point, but I remember being able to figure it out once I was in there by right-clicking the drive.

However, are you going to run Windows from the SSD instead of the HDD?

Oh. Then I hope my answer is at least partially correct. smile.gif

Anyway, thank you. I don't feel like I'm back yet, however it feels like my life is pushing me back onto OCN. So, I decided to go with it to find out why. wink.gif
