When fitting a new SSD need to make sure the BIOS is set to AHCI and not IDE before you install the OS. If you have already installed the OS and havent set the BIOS to AHCI you can perform a reg tweak in windows to tell it you are running in AHCI mode, then reboot enter bios change to AHCI then your good to go.

Improve SATA hard disk performance (Convert from IDE to AHCI) (http://tweaks.com/windows/44119/improve-sata-hard-disk-performance-convert-from-ide-to-ahci/)

To show you how to do it :)
