Morning,
Novice warning!
Ok so i installed my SSD drive into my desktop, disconnected the other drive and followed all the steps on techtips on Youtube. Installation went ahead with no issues, updated all my drivers machine is stupendously fast now. Boots up and down perfectly.
When I first installed it however I used SATA port 3, and it wouldn't recognise it. So I removed the SATA cable from number 1 and placed it in there and it worked.
When reconnecting my HDD so I can access all my files on the "old" pc as such, it wont recognise it in SATA ports 3 or 4. Port 2 is my CD/DVD drive.
Not sure why? Doesnt appear in BIOS either......
Halp!
Dell Inspiron 531
San Disk HDD
4 SATA ports

Go into the bios, you have to enable Sata 2 and 3.
You'll currently be using 0 and 1, not 1 and 2 
Go Bios, Setup, Advanced, Integrated Peripherals, Serial-ATA Configuration. turn them on there
