Hi, i recently bought the Nova Series™ 2 60GB Solid-State Hard Drive.

I have tried it in each Sata port on my mobo, using no less then 5 different Sata cables (including the cable/port which works fine with my WD 500gb HDD)

No luck, nothing comes up in the bios, try install windows... still nothing other than my 500gb and my dvd-rw drive.

Any one else have this issue?

Mobo = GA-G31M-ES2L (rev. 2.3)
CPU = Core2Duo e6750
Ram = 4gb dd2 Corsair 2x2gb

Is it dead?

Sata cables are all the different, Sata in mine is in "enhanced" mode, but tried it disabled, non - combined and in Auto all settings.

Tried in my dads pc just now, ACHI on and off and still wouldnt pick it up.

And both bioses are up to date.
