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 ) ?
