Set the SATA Controller in the BIOS to IDE Mode ( Legacy ).
Try to boot into a linux live cd ( suggestion = Ubuntu 11.10 ) with the only drive connected to your system being the SSD ( and the optical DVD+/-RW drive ofcourse, where would you boot the linux cd from otherwise :p ) and tell me if it sees the SSD, how it sees it ( Unpartitioned space ? RAW filesystem ? not at all ? ( not even as a storage device aka sda ) ?

Yea I had just the Intel and DVD rom plugged in,


No go IDE Legacy with Windows installer,
The drives shows up in the BIOS but not in the the OS when it is connected with other drives in place

The windowsinstall see's it as unpartitioned space, then when I go to format is when I get the error ???

Tried installing unformated with the same result

I will have to grab Linux and try that .......
