SSD not visible

[ffum]

Hello.

I have some problems with my SSD. My computer recently f**cked up and wouldn't let me boot up my computer from the SSD and it was not visible in BIOS either. I remember I had some problems first time I wanted to install windows 7 on it, because it wasn't visible but somehow I got it fixed and I could install windows on it. (Don't really know what I did though.)

Well now I'm trying to install windows 7 on the SSD again, but when I have to choose the drive where I want to install windows 7 - the SSD isn't visible and it is not visible in the BIOS either.

I'm not sure if I have attached the cables to the right place. I have 4 sata cables incl. the dvd-drive, SSD and my HDD cables.

This is what I'm talking about: http://img210.imageshack.us/img210/8151/sataetc.png

Here is my setup spec:
i5-2500K
Corsair XMS3 DDR3 1600MHz 4GB CL7 (2x2 GB)
Noctua NH-U12P SE2
Sony Optiarc DVD±RW burner AD-7260S
ASUS P8P67 PRO
HAF 922
MSI GeForce GTX 580
Corsair TX 950W PSU
Samsung SpinPoint F3 1TB

Best regards
Patrick

Tried it all, but without luck. Thanks for your help though. Going to use my RMA.
