Hello, I recently came across a Dell Optiplex 7010 that was free and found its way to my mom's boss as a working computer. I sold her the computer about a month ago, and 2 weeks ago the PSU failed. I ordered a new one which came in today and is the same as the original model and after installing it, im getting boot device not found errors.

After going into the BIOS, I realized the SSD is being read by the computer as a 1GB HDD - Is there anyway to fix this? Is the SSD bad? I can not get it to post but when I popped in the Windows install disc, I can not reformat it and Windows still reads it as a 1GB HDD.
