Maximum PC

i just received and assembled all the parts listed for the "just right " pc in the may issue . interestingly enough, a build of the almost the same rig is in pc gamer.
anyway, the machine posts, but will not see the ssd to install windows. the bios shows it, but for whatever reason, widows refuses to see it and will not install. i have tried swapping sata ports, no bueno.
thanks for any help y'all can offer

I've stared at your post about 5 minutes and am clueless as well. It POSTS, no errors reported, so why is that SSD not jiving with Windows for an install?

I have to digress and ask questions as if it's here in front of me. If it's not the only drive in the system as planned then make it so. Only connect the SSD, leave the rest out for now, and try again. If it's the only drive, then I guess I'm lost and would like to see what you see to go further here.

Something is lacking here. Never had a problem here, but that doesn't mean troubles happen there.

yeah, it is the only drive hooked up for data, the hdd is hooked up to power but not a sata port.
using the same parts as the may issue just right build.
