Im trying to install a 120gb Mushkin and cant seem to get it to boot?

- i set the SATA port to AHCI
- boot off the USB key with windows
- format, and install to the drive np... and reboot
- as far as i get

If i leave the USB key in i get the start of windows setup again, and with it pulled I get "no bootable hard drive".

with a normal spin drive i get windows installed no problem, seem to be only this SSD that has the boot problem but is still working?

I tried upgrading the firmware and slightly changed the behaviour but ends up at the same place.

and ideas?
