    Has the SSD been assigned a drive letter in Disk Management?

    If you're not sure, right click "Computer" in Windows Explorer this will open Disk Management ->Storage->Disk Management. If it shows here, right click, select Change Drive Letter and Path and assign a drive letter.

    thanks that sorted it

    it shows up as new volume e, can i change this to be the c drive? or does it matter which drive it is so long as i go into the bios and tell it to boot from the ssd drive first?

    Since your going to use it as the boot disk I would change it to "C" to avoid problems.
