It is most likely the unnamed drive in Device Manager. Click on that drive, select Driver tab then attempt to Update Driver by going online, or browsing to a flash stick/CD where you have loaded the driver for the SSD.

Once you update the driver, or if there is a driver for that Device already, then check in Disk Management for the drive and assign it a letter.
 
thanks i'll give it a try

If that doesn't do it, please post back the Screenshot of Disk Management Gary asked for.

Use the Snipping Tool in Start Menu, attaching file using paper clip in reply box.
