Problem description: I bought a 256GB SSD Sandisk plus from amazon to use as a third drive for gaming. I used windows disk manager to create a partition and it did so 'successfully'. However, this partition does not show up in 'My Computer' or the list of volumes in DiskPart. So I tried assigning a drive letter to it using windows disk management. The program gave me the following error when I try: "The operation failed to complete because Disk Management console view is not up to date". However the drive did show up when I looked at the bios. I then tried switching my boot SSD drive power cables with the new one and all hell broke loose. Windows wouldn't boot and I had to do a system restore which only worked when I put the boot drive on it's old power cable. Now my other secondary drive (HD) is not being detected. WTF????? Attempted fixes: I just don't know where to start. I strongly feel like it is a hardware issue. Before switching the pwoer cables around I tried: - restarting my computer several times -using Sandisk dashboard to Sanitize and try formatting - using PartitionGuru to format the SSD again. The error this program give when assign a drive letter is "File not found". Recent changes: Tried to install the new SSD -- Operating system: Windows 7 64bit System specs: http://speccy.piriform.com/results/xZ6J1cBB7UIewxLeDYvSsP6 Location: USA I have Googled and read the FAQ: Yes MOVIE MAJICK fucked around with this message at 03:54 on Mar 25, 2018 |

Try to reconnect everything exactly as it was before the new SSD. If your secondary HD still doesn't appear then I'd try a different SATA cable and/or different motherboard port

I'd make sure you're on the latest BIOS: https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/support/P67AC43 If that doesn't help with the new SSD then I'd try an upgrade to W10.
