SSD Missing?

After a receiving a virus. I had to "Secure Erase" my SSD's, with OCZ Linux Toolbox. Because the mouse wouldn't work in that programme I had to use "Alt - Tab" to manoeuvre about, and I wasn't able to SE them one at a time, or even choose one.
Anyhow after SE'ing them I re-installed windows 8. No problems, until I noticed one SSD was missing. See attachment.

As you can see the C Drive is an SSD and the D Drive is an HDD, as for the E Drive I don't know.

In my BIOS I have set it to AHCI pre-installation of windows 8.

What shall I do?
Thanks!

What does it look like in your disk management window?

Found it!!

The whole window...if you don't mind. Here's what mine looks like. Sometimes the drive wont show in the top half like your attachment shows but will show in the bottom half.

Here you go.
BTW my windows 8 is not activated because I did a clean install, shall I "Refresh" it first or not?

your ssd is most likely disk 1 as it is un-allocated and you did erase them so that makes sense right click on disk 1 and pick initialize then make simple volume and make it all of it and format it as nfts and give it a letter of your choice. EDIT: did you have them in software raid before? if so you need to recreate that after formatting it.

From the disk layout, he may had done just that. Was one drive a "Mirror" or were they Striped to make one bigger 250 GB Drive?

It was in RAID 0, I had to change it to AHCI to secure erase it.
It seems Okay now, the only problem is windows activation, I tried Refresh a couple of times and it still won't activate, any suggestions?

You may have to call them.

Try entering your key using SLMGR.VBS, I forget the exact command so use "/?"

I see you found it....a picture is worth a 1000 words....lol. My concern, is what happened to the 500 GB HDD that is now missing.

just call them then enter the numbers it asks for then they give you them back after you say its on one pc lol. i have to do it every time i upgrade something major.

Here's the 500gb drive.

Do I just change it to RAID in the BIOS to merge my SSD's?

Where do I call for activation I live in Europe.
