    "only requires" is the same as "minimum requirements"

    Ok, It got detected when I connected it VIA USB in Gparted so I'm thinking that the sata data cable is borked. it only works when it want to work..

    Do you have any spare SATA cables? I'm down the post office later to post some RAM out for Shirty so I can bung you a few in the post.

    EDIT: your in bloody Canada!

    I did the same thing the other day myself, I figured that by the time postage had been covered, it would be cheaper to get one from Canada.

    How can you have no SATA cables? :D I've got hundreds of the damn things. And usually when I need one not one of them has the right config of ends on. :D :D

    At this point I'd probably be thinking that it was a compatibility issue between SSD and motherboard/SATA controller.

    I've got a bit lost and confused with what you've done and what the SSD works in. Can you sum up the situation of what works and what doesn't?

    Possibly what you said.. but it was detected VIA USB so something must be up with the sata controller...

    Sata is enabled in BIOS so it must be an issue with the controller. I can't seem to update the BIOS without windows.. Hmm...

    One second, I'll try and find the sata drivers.. Why you no easy to read, Lenovo!

    Can't seem to find the sata controller drivers but if I recall, one of posts said try the chipset one but it's an exe file..

    Will this work?
