Hi guys, I have a problem i couldn't be able to solve.
Some days ago i bought a new Kingston SSD UV500 and a caddy in order to fit it in my Toshiba Satellite L850 laptop. The problem is, when i mounted it, Windows wasn't able to boot and i couldn't even access the bios. So i tried many solutions:
-Checked for any missing driver to install, but seems that Kingston SSDs are already provided with them.
-Enabled Intel VT in Bios, no luck.
-Changed boot order in Bios (in case my laptop was looking for Windows in the SSD and was not able to boot because it was not there) but even if i put USB before HDD/SSD in the boot order and try to boot a Windows live, when the SSD is plugged in, Windows does not boot (and still can't access the Bios).
-Checked if the SSD popped up in device manager, but there was no trace of it.
-Downloaded the Kingston SSD toolbox, but of course it doesn't even noticed the SSD.
-And plugging it when Windows already booted doesn't make it pop up (even if it is Plug-N-Play).
The optical drive still works well and the SSD too (i plugged it in my laptop with a Sata-USB adapter and it showed up). So I think the problem is not bad sata connections or bad SSD.
I also tried to replace the caddy with a different one, still no luck. So i assume the problem is not the caddy.
So, here are all my attempts, but the problem still persist. Any idea?
