I recently bought a new SSD (SanDisk Ultra Plus) to install on my Asus P7P55D motherboard. Both the BOIS and Win7 detect the drive (it shows up under Disk Drives of Device Manager) but it does not show up under My Computer. The option to install Win7 on the new drive does not show up either when I put in the upgrade CD.” How to fix "SanDisk SSD not showing up" in Windows 11/10/8/7 efficiently?

On a positive note, the drive comes with two 9-inch cables: USB-C-to-USB-C and USB-C-to-USB-A. That's better than an awkward converter dongle.
