Found this in another forum.. I had an identical problem where the BIOS could see my SSD (Kingston v-series 128GB), and when I booted into windows I could see it and format it and assign a drive letter. But Windows 7 install COULD NOT see the SSD, and Acronis True Image could not see the SSD to clone my old system disk to it.
Very frustrating and it took me 2 days to work it out. I tried EVERYTHING and didn't really find an answer on ANY forum. But the solution was simple... Physically remove connections to ALL disks on your computer EXCEPT your SSD so it's the only disk connected. Then Windows install WILL see the SSD and you can install Windows 7 to it (and I assume Vista). -- JRS stei...@pacbell.net Facts do not cease to exist just because they are ignored.
