New SSD in new build isnt recognized by Windows 7 when trying to isntall it

[Bojangle12]

I built a new computer, and it has a Kingston Fury HyperX SSD. When I insert the Windows 7 installation disk to try to install the OS, it says no drives were found and i can't install. I pressed shifT+F10, and typed "diskpart" at the prompt, then "list disk" and it said no disks were found.

Rig setup:
MSI Z97 PC Mate
Intel pentium g3258
AMD Radeon 2x8 gb 2400mhz memory
DVD drive
Corsair tx650watt
Antec three hundred two case
Windows 7 Home Premium OEM software

You did give power to the drives and plugged the ssd to the motherboard?

did you go into bios and set the ssd to boot second? the disk drive with the windows cd should boot first.

Yes it has power, and yes nipple the SSD boots second and the DVD drive boots first.

Question: What is UEFI? Because there are all of these UEFI-DVD Drive things in BIOS. There is a UEFI counterpart to every item listed under boot priority. Life UEFI-Hard Disk, UEFI-USB, etc.

So Calnin, after reading your question about power, I decided to look at the power cable connection to see it was in fact connected. The socket was facing away from me, towards the left computer panel (its mounted on the base of the case). And i finally realized the power cable wasnt even plugged into the socket, it was just wedged underneath the SSD, and against the base of the case. Hahah.

So i plugged it in correctly and now it's working. Thanks guys.
