SSD no longer appears in Disk Management, or My Computer, no Activity
Skill level: Beginner
I've been toying with the idea of swapping the hard drive out of my Acer Aspire 5740-5780 laptop with an Intel SSD 330 to improve performance. So I used Norton Ghost 15.0 to copy my data to my new Intel SSD. So after that was done I swapped hard drives, and booted up. My laptop was stuck at the Acer Splash Screen (F2 and F12) menu. I'm able to press either key, but it locks after that.
Then I read somewhere that I need to go through sysprep. So I swapped the original hard drive back in. After attempting sysprep, I get an error, Fatal Error...
Now as I'm typing I'm using my original Hard Drive just fine on my laptop. However, when I connect my Intel SSD via USB on my external enclosure - it is no longer detected in My Computer or Disk Management.
