SSD recognised but noth there :s

[Paul1337noob]

Just got my Intel 40GB SSD
Connected it to my current system {running Vista} so i could start copying wow over

Its recognised in the bios and is in the device manager,
but its not in My Computer

When i click on properties in the device manager it says Status - Not Initialised

Any ideas what the problem is, as i cant access it

may have figured it, but am not at home to test it,

im guessing right click my computer > manage > if its there it may not be assigned a letter AKA it not showing in my computer

you need to format it, then give it a drive letter.

go to control panel > system and security > administrative tools > computer management > disk mangement

find the drive, right-click and choose format, then assign it a drive letter

this is how I did my intel SSD

I had the same thing, had to format and then it was all good.
