SSD not showing up in Windows 7

Hi,
I have recently been trying to install Elementary OS on an SSD that I bought a while ago but never used. It worked, but I thought I would try Ubuntu instead so I formatted the hard drive and then installed ubuntu via a USB drive. I then thought that Elementary was a lot nicer so I tried going back to that but I got an error message: Errno 5. I tried with a different USB and I still got it so I went back onto Windows on my primary hard drive and the SSD was not in my computer anymore. Since then I have tried many things to get the SSD discoverable by Windows again including post #2 on this thread and also karlsnooks' suggestions in this thread but nothing has worked. I got it to be seen by Windows using the suggestions in the second thread and even formatted it while I could see it but when I restarted my PC it went away again. I can see the SSD in BIOS as well so I know that all connections are secure. Worst comes to worst I can install Linux on my third HDD which works but I really would not like my SSD to be useless as it was quite expensive!

P.S. The SSD is a Kingston 240GB ATA

Is it shown in Disk Management? and does it have a letter assigned if so?

It is shown in disk management but it does not have a letter and is not present in my computer

In Disk Management, right click the partition and "Change Drive Letter and Paths". Click Add and give a drive letter. It should be shown as that drive letter in Explorer now.

Trust me, I have tried a lot more than just that. I have tried diskpart in cmd.exe, updating firmware, updating BIOS, everything. In regard to disk management, everything is greyed out except delete.

Oh, tried formatting with NTFS using Partition Wizard free yet? Linux has a different file format unrecognized by Windows. PW should be able to see it. You can also try deleting the partition and recreating one, formatted with NTFS.

Tried both of those methods already. This is pretty much my last resort before just completely throwing it away (which I really would not like to do) because whatever I do, it simply reverts after a restart.

If you would like to try another one. In Partition Wizard there is an option to download a bootable ISO, use an app like Rufus to make a bootable CD/USB. Boot with it, delete and format the SSD, and make sure you apply the changes (menu option in PW) before you restart PC.

Don't worry I fixed it. Not sure how but one of the formats just worked.
