And, ^this^ is only relevant, if, he has one of these SSDs listed in the prerequisites:

PREREQUISITES:
Usage of one of the following model Intel Solid State Drive (SSD) models:

INTEL SSDSA2BW080G3H - 80GB
INTEL SSDSA2BW120G3H - 120GB
INTEL SSDSA2BW160G3H - 160GB
INTEL SSDSA2BW300G3H - 300GB

Have you tried hot-plugging the drive?

Plug the power into the SSD(just the power cable, not the data cable).
Boot up your computer and OS.
While still on... plug in the data(SATA) cable.
If it is recognized, check the partition and format.

If, recognized and partitioned/formatted... re-boot and check.
If, everything works; now update the firmware, with, the proper firmware from the SSD manufacturer.

If that does not work, return the SSD for RMA or return to seller.

Just curious, is this a Crucial M model?
