new ssd not being detected in bios

[blackenthesun]

My new samsung 250gb ssd is not being detected in bios. I have a gigabyte ga 970a ud3 motherboard. tried two different sata ports but no luck. I read on the samsung site that I might need to upgrade my bios, but having trouble with that too. I am running a 64bit version of windows 7.

Hello and welcome blackenthesun I know this may sound rather obvious but have you tried the drive in another port and with a cable that you know is ok?

I am also assuming that the drive is not showing in any computer or device manager features. Now in the past - and I would again use a USB to SATA adaptor to see if the drive can be seen .

One thing that comes to mind too is although new maybe the drive is bad?? Have you got another machine or a friends machine to try it in?

PS
