HP Microserver Gen 8 - Won't recognize SSD

[Dolby]

I had this SSD in my previous HP N40L which died the other day - so bought a new Gen8 and swapping the internals.

However, I boot up Windows via USB to install and says nothing detected. I thought maybe the drive died with the old server, but it works on my other PC.

Anyone know what it could be?
A setting in BIOS?

Ok. Got it.

AHCI

Are you using the B120i? If you are, you need to load the drivers onto th usb in order for you to pick up the hard drives.

I don't know what model it is - it was the Gen 8 at Esquire the other day.

There was a setting in BIOS about enable AHCI and now it reads it

That is one way, you can also use the on board raid controller.
