Hi, I recently bought a Mushkin Chronos 120gb SSD. I put it in my computer and it showed up. I used to boot off of a another drive, but I wanted to put it on my new SSD to speed up my computer. I got this cloning program to put everything onto the new SSD and it said successful. So I proceeded to turn off my computer and go into the Bios to set it to boot on the SSD, but it didn't detect the SSD. It said there was "nothing installed" in that SATA port. I retried several times switched SATA cables and power cable in between to see if a cable was bad, but still had no luck. I reluctantly turned on my computer using my old orignial hard drive and wouldn't even come up on the "computer" area or even the "computer management, storage" area.
I got the same SSD last weekend. I installed windows on it and everything was fine. But a few days later, it just disappeared from the BIOS. I tried many things, but it just won't show up. I even tried putting it in my laptop, it's not showing up either.
I'll try to put it in an old rig, but I don't have much hope for it. Anyone knows what went wrong?
I had a similar problem with my Samsung 830 SSD. It came with this shoddy norton ghost cloning software that said everything was successfully copied, but woud not show up when i tried to boot off of it. I did the only thing I could think of which is start from scratch and install a brand new copy of windows 7 and it finally worked. If mushkin provided you with the same software, im betting its that piece of crap and ur ssd is perfectly fine. Best of luck!
It's not that the software on it isn't detected/copied or whatever, it's not showing up in any BIOS/OS, so I can't even wipe it or upgrade the firmware of it.
When I get back home I'll request an RMA if I haven't found any solution by then.
