120GB SSD not detected after W8 crash

Hi All,

First time posting. So I had purchased the SSD bout a month or two ago. Recently I had just installed W8 and was in the process of setting everything up. I noticed that my W8 install started having booting issues after I had installed drivers for my TP-Link TL-W821N USB network adapter. Today I had tried to fix the drivers by reinstalling them. However after I installed the drivers and rebooted my machine the machine straight up wasn’t able to even load or repair the W8 install and I had to boot back into my HDD Vista install.

When I tried to reinstall W8 I saw that the SSD wasn’t even being recognised. I checked the BIOS and it wasn’t there either.

Does anyone know what I can do? It doesn’t seem plausible that a USB wireless network card driver could screw things up this severely.

Thanks in advance guys.

Jason.

hey, 

so did you find any solution. im in same problem now.

please let me know. thanks.

if the ssd is not detected in the BIOS there is not much you can do. The drive would need to be replaced.
