Manual pic would help if you can download that. which is in the group of 6, closest to the edge, and closest to the 2 stand alone ports. I'm not sure how boot order is figured, i would assume it would prefer sata0. Which sata port are you using? the 2 on their own(gigabyte controller) or the group of 6 which is controlled by the p55 chipset? In the bios, these are changed in two different locations if you weren't aware. Which board revision do you have and which BIOS are your on? It doesn't really seem to matter much looking at the manual and bios section as after f5 they are the same bios for both revisions. Not sure if you're still having this issue, but i have a few questions. On last step windows looks like it is going to restart but the screen goes black and nothing after that happens.

I took the specs after loading windows from my original HD. I changed the controllers to AHCI from IDE before running Windows CD. My Windows copy is on a CD that I purchased several years ago. Windows goes through all the steps and tries to restart on the very last step but nothing happens.

I started Windows 7 Home Premium 64 to do a clean install. I attached the Intel 330 180gb SSD to my pc.
