SSD wont boot into Windows 7?

Had this SSD for 6 months (OCZ Vertex 4). I used it as my boot drive, with a secondary hard drive unharmed. Woke up one morning to use it and it wont boot. I get the common message "Reboot and select proper boot device", unable to load Windows 7 after the BIOS. The SSD shows up in the BIOS and Device Manager, doesn't not show up in Windows. I tried a bunch of things, installing Windows 7 on my extra hard drive, but it won't show up as a secondary/data drive.

Now, I understand there are a lot of threads with this problem. I just want to know if there's a way I can save two things...my programs and my bookmarks on Firefox. All I would need is a screenshot of my start menu and bookmarks, which I feel guilt for not backing up, but I can't access the drive. Everything else is backed up.

If there is a way I can install Windows on the SSD without losing my bookmarks and programs, or extract the data somehow, I would appreciate it. Thank you.

F8 shows the boot menu, TAB is for POST. It shows the error message right after I select the SSD. Same thing with POST.

Get a Boot CD with something like Ubuntu on it and post a screen shot of a drive and partition map of your drives.

I suspect you installed Windows on the SSD and left the original drive in the system when doing that. That may cause the System Reserve partition to be placed on the second drive and it that drive goes bad the system won't boot.

You could also try disconnecting the second drive and then doing a Repair install, or a new install over the top of the current install on the SSD. That may place the System Reserve partition on the SSD.

Then again the SSD may have failed.

When you go to install windows on any drive Disconnect ALL Other drives.

Is this what you mean as partition map? Disk 0 is my 320 GB Barracuda that I have as my back up drive not attached to my computer. I installed Win7 on it because I could just put the data from my 1TB Spinpoint should I lose any data, but I didn't lose any. Disk 1 is my Vertex 4 SSD.

Yes that is what I meant. I didn't think you could boot into Windows, at least that is what I got from an earlier post of yours.

In any event if the SSD was working before it certainly isn't now as it is 119GBs of Unallocated space. Might be that drive has failed or you somehow inadvertently wiped that drive.

If you try to install Windows on it be sure to disconnect the other drive. Otherwise you will have a slight mess on your hands.

Disk 0 is my 320 GB Barracuda. I installed Win7 on it because I needed a boot drive (my ssd won't boot), so I could come on the forum and post. My 1TB is a moot point. It has all my data on it and no OS, except for programs and bookmarks. The only reason I mentioned it was because I can always take the data on the 1TB and transfer it to the 320 GB, considering I need to wipe the 320 GB clean.

Ok, so I guess all the data is gone already? Is there anyway to recover it? I don't trust this drive anymore, so I really don't want to continue using it in the future. I guess I'll call OCZ or something, because I think there is a 1 year warranty on it.
