11.1. The SSD Is Not Identified by the System BIOS
11.1.1.
Most disk problems are caused by improper disk installation. First, check the following:


11.1.2.
Verify that the disk is enabled in the BIOS. In most new BIOSs, there is an option to allow auto
identification of the drive. This usually works.

If you are experiencing poor disk performance, it may be due to one of the following reasons:



11.3. The SSD Functions as an Additional Drive but Fails to Boot

following:


11.4. Linux Installation Is Complete but the System Does Not Boot
Verify that the partitions are large enough. When using a small-Capacity drive, an older
installation CD may fail to properly divide the disk into partitions.
This bug has been fixed in newer installation utilities. If you use your own customized Linux,
verify that you have the latest kernel as a base for your modified version.

Power supply is below SSD requirements
The SSD is operating only with ultra DMA modes 0-2.
The SSD is operating in PIO mode under Windows.
DMA transfer mode may not be enabled in the Windows OS settings. Windows has a
fallback mechanism that causes the disk operating mode to revert to PIO if too many errors
occur.
Verify that the partition on the drive is active. Some partitioning utilities, such as DOS
FDISK, automatically set a partition to active when the SSD is the only disk in the system. If
other disk with an active partition is present in the system, the FDISK utility does not allow
setting additional partitions as active.
Verify that the operating system is properly installed.
