Wired Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 Have you checked the BIOS to see if your SSD shows up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted September 3, 2009 Corsair Employee Share Posted September 3, 2009 Do you have any other drives attached to the system? Even flash Drives? If you run the setup does it see the drive is there during the setup? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shery Posted September 3, 2009 Author Share Posted September 3, 2009 i have everything in the system listed in my setup, its the only flash disk in the system, and 3 other HDD's ... removed one raptor since it was using up a space i wanted for the X64 in the Case. i got it running yesterday, by having the win7 dvd in the drive while booting. somehow it works then... loads up the "press key to boot from disk" screen, and if i ignore it, it just boots up the win7 install from the X64 as it should. i can see the drive in bios, in windows, during the install... everything however, should i remove the dvd, it goes back to "no system drive present" on boot... also i had it once vanish from the bios drive-listing... unplugged, replugged, was back there... i seriously have no clue >< but so far, while the dvd is in the drive, it runs perfectly... mystery to me tbh... sorry for the bumpage @ wired, was urgent.. needed to get some files for yesterday evening off the system. but that worked out anyway.

Wired Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 Check your BIOS boot order. Sounds like the order got screwed up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Synthohol Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 if one of your drives used to be the primary then it may be because the boot.ini file was on that drive and once unplugged the PC didnt know where to boot from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted September 3, 2009 Corsair Employee Share Posted September 3, 2009 Do you have the Anti Virus enabled in the BIOS? I would try another fresh format and install of the O.S. with only this drive connected and please make sure you just quick format the drive DO NOT FULL FORMAT!

bonfire-db Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 Hi guys, I'd like to throw my hat into the ring as well with this exact problem. I am using a Corsair X64 ordered off NCIX.com in late July. It began occurring randomly and I could reboot the computer a couple of times before the system would boot. Sometimes this problem would be premeditated by a complete OS lockup that appeared to be drive related. Any operation that could not be completed fully in RAM was inoperable (AKA I could move windows around but not click anything inside them, or open the Start Menu etc.) and upon reboot the drive did not boot into Windows. However, since about a week ago I've been unable to load the Windows partition at all. Currently it's plugged into another computer as a secondary and literally no partitions show up, nor does any partition software recover any information from the drive. I installed this drive as primary with no other drives attached and later on plugged in a second hard drive after the OS install, but the drives coexisted peacefully before this issue cropped up and I see no relation. The drive shows up in BIOS, it's set to primary boot, but still no boot device found. I have not tried booting into Windows with an install disc. I wonder if that will let me make a clone before I reformat. My biggest question and perhaps most telling point of this issue is how I had the problem with a stable system and no other recent changes. This computer had been running fine for approximately one month before any boot problems started occurring. I would like to think it isn't degradation of the actual NAND flash but if so...shouldn't it have happened at least a few years later? I have never fully formatted the drive but it's been filled completely a few times. Edit: My TRIM question was answered in another thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted September 8, 2009 Corsair Employee Share Posted September 8, 2009 Can you post a pic of the drive label or tell me the Lot code and the part number that is on the drive? Let's get it replaced, please use the On Line RMA Request Form and we will be happy to replace it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
