Alright so i have an alienware aurora r4 - 2012, the harddrive got old so i decided to buy an SSD, so i plugged it in and everything it showed up on bios but when i tried installing OS on it it didn't show up anyway to fix this?

Alright, so i downloaded that driver tried loading it, it spent about 5min doing something, took me back to the driver page on the installation and... said couldn't detect the ssd is still being detected in bios - i also tried putting the SSD on my alienware m17x r4 except the drive wasn't even being detected in the bios.

FierCe,

We can recommend to try setting the BIOS back to default settings by pressing F9. Once the BIOS is set back to defaults, make sure the SATA model is set to AHCI mode, Boot Mode is set to UEFI and confirm the SSD is still detected.

Restart the installation and let us know if it worked.
